"
Also, Mike has a new book On Our Way Home currently available online wherever books are sold and all the proceeds go to Mike's local animal shelter.
For the holiday type book? It is a holiday book that lands at the intersection of it's a wonderful life and a Christmas carol. And people have said to me your book is kind of dark and I said, have you ever watched it's a wonderful life? George Bailey is ready to jump off a bridge and end his own life for crying out loud. A Christmas carol is a story about a miserable old bastard who was visited by ghosts who ultimately show him dead in a cemetery. You got to go through some darkness to find some light. So the story's dark, but it's also lighthearted and it has a positive message about renewing broken relationships with family members or others.
Episode: Hour 2 - Bye Bye Brandon Staley
A holidaythemed book that blends the feel of It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol; it was described as dark yet lighthearted and carries a positive message about repairing broken relationships.
"
Also Mike has a new book On Our Way Home.
It is a holiday book that lands at the intersection of It's a wonderful life and a Christmas Carol.
And people have said to me, your book is kind of dark ... A Christmas Carol is a story about a miserable old bastard ... You gotta go through some darkness to find some light.
But it's also lighthearted and it has, I think, a positive message about renewing broken relationships with family members or others that you would like to have a better relationship with in the holiday season.
Good luck with the book.
