Just In Case It isn't There: Postcards From Elsewhere
I have received copies of my new book.
Just In Case It Isn't There: Postcards From Elsewhere, 1988-2000.
It's Volume One of excerpts from my travel journals, predominantly in Bali, 225 pages of them, and it sells for $24.00 plus $5 for shipping (which comes to $29.00). If you would like a signed copy, send me a private message here, an email, or simply send the cash to this PayPal account: exottreasures@gmail.com. The book is not available yet on the publisher's website ( Dos Madres Press) or on Amazon, though it will be soon. I will post the appropriate links when they go live. In the meantime, be the first soul on your block to receive a signed copy!
Special thanks to Robert Murphy and Elizabeth Murphy of Dos Madres for shepherding it through to completion. They did a beautiful job.
You-Tube videos of me reading excerpts to follow, as well as plans for book release events, both Zoom and live.
Here's what Dave Mason has to say about it on the back cover:
"This is a book of impressions. Rats run over the heads of unsuspecting diners, a man naps on a coffin lid. The Bali rice harvest whispers. Tropical heat stultifies and rain freezes. We witness over time the changes wrought by globalization and modernization, including the arrival of TV, and know the writer is a poet by his sensibility, the very turn of his sentences. This is R. Nemo Hill’s Book of Disquiet, composed of fragments, observations, musings, quotations, postcards, all colored by particular places, sensations, yearnings, revelations. In Elizabeth Bishop’s words, everything is “only connected by ‘and’ and ‘and.’” Yet, as is the case with Bishop, there is a guiding spirit, in this case a man named “No one,” a traveler, inbound and outbound at the same time."

Congratulations! It sounds wonderful, and although since I'm UK-based the postage will be prohibitive, I will wait for the Amazon release & look forward to reading in then.

Congrats, and I'll take one and looking forward to it. Payment is going through PayPal, and I'll email you my Santa Fe address - we're here through mid-August or so, then back to Plum Island for a few months. Lemmee know if you have a New England show this fall. Love the intriguing cover.

The Amazon listing is still to come, Sarah Jane.
As are launch details.

You book shipped out today, Michael.

Thanks, Allen.
That donkey behind me in the reading certainly steals the show!
Thanks, Siham.
I am celebrating, hugely, but quietly.
