Chasing Dreams

23 Seconds by Brian J. Malott | BOOK INFO

Well that was interesting.  First off I must explain my complete lack of posting on the blog since I got back from the Olympics.  The reality is that pretty much all my spare since coming back has been devoted to showing people the photo album of the games, telling the stories of the games and creating my first book.

I honestly did not realize the pressure this process had created  until the moment 2 Wednesdays ago that I submitted the first order for copies of the book.  It literally felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders (a friend pointed out to me this weekend that writing a book is a big deal, lol)

So in the spirit of the this blog here are a few stories from the arrival of the book.  First off if you haven’t read the forward written by my good friend Daryl Andrews then you should read it now I kind of threw together a book launch party last week.  I literally planned it with a few text messages and a phone call.  My favorite part of the planning is when James only told Angie 20 mins before I got there that myself and a few friends were coming to their place.  It was a fun little gathering of family and friends.  We raised a toast to the launch of 23 Seconds.

I wondered when I picked the title if “23 Seconds” was going to be a good title.  By the number of people who have asked “Why 23 Seconds?” the answer if this was a good title is obvious.  Thought provoking title, check.  My simple answer to people has been “Buy the book and find out, lol”.  Okay I will post in a day or two what it means.
