Media Spotlight on Tapes From California Memoir

The past month leading up to the impending holidays has been busy with book promotion and lining up interviews and a few in-store events for the first part of 2018. 

   Within the past weeks, Tapes from California has been on the receiving end of love and attention from some fine local news stations and publications. Late November, Inside Halton anchor and videographer, Kristin Demeny filmed an interview with me which will be available to watch online soon.
   The Hamilton Spectator's Go Section editor, Aviva Boxer, selected the memoir to be included under Hamilton Writes as one of six recommended novels to add to the holiday reading list.
   Additionally, esteemed editor John Best at The Bay Observer highlighted the book in its monthly Arts & Culture section. Both pieces are available in print and in the online editions. 
   The Burlington Post included a feature piece in its online edition last week written by reporter Kathy Yanchus, and plans a print story later this week.
   Looking to the year ahead, plans for three local book signings and TV appearances are in the works, for January, February, and March with more to come.

To receive recognition and support from local media and friends after 4 1/2 years of tedious work and countless rewrites feels unbelievably good.
I can't thank everybody enough.  ❣

TAPES FROM CALIFORNIA: Teenage Road Tripping, 1976 -- Ebook Ready!

Just in time for the holidays, Tapes from California is now available in Ebook format at worldwide Amazon distributors.  What's really nice, is the photos are crisp and in colour. But the best part of all, the kindle/Ebook format of TAPES is being offered at a very attractive price point -- $7.00 in the U.S. and just under $9.00 in Canada.

From the back cover, friend and author Heather Drain writes: "Journeys have many shapes and forms in this life. The one that Jill Nelson takes us on in Tapes From California is poetic, spiritual, intense, and most importantly of all, real. Engaging from word one, Tapes is a coming-of-age tale that is like a sweet song you heard in your childhood that wrapped itself around your brain and heart and never ever let go."
