What better way to support people like me coming away from a weekend retreat learning about the Ascension Meditation practice than a book that clearly summarises the main learning points

Congratulations Dennis Voznesenski, your wonderful book War and Wheat: Navigating markets during global conflict is a best seller. You deserve this and any other accolades that come your way Dennis. You were a joy to work with.

I love this piece of the process when I've been working with an author (or in this case as it's an anthology - I should say 'authors') right from the beginning, and I get to congratulate them for doing the work! They've done what many others say they want to do, but just never get a round to doing it. They have written a book (or in the case of these authors, they've written a chapter for an anthology), and pretty soon their ideas will be available to the public, and you never know what happens after that. In my own case, writing my first book completely changed the trajectory of my life. But that's a story for another time.

What you're looking at in the image I've used are a couple of ISBN numbers (one is for the eBook and one is for the print version). These unique identifiers are needed for the books to be sold through retailers, and read or borrowed in libraries.

You're also looking at the emblem that represents the fact that the book is lodged with the National Library of Australia, and a listing of it exists on the Trove database. That hasn't actually happened yet in the case of the book in question which is called "Rising Into Greatness" because I've taken the screenshot from the imprint page of the book. The book itself still needs to be formatted and loaded onto the distribution platform where places like Amazon, Booktopia, Barnes and Noble and the like access their titles from.

I'm really proud of everyone who's contributed a chapter including Kylie Burton, Kez Wickham St George, Jo Goddard, Antonietta Peel, Gunnel Gigi Lindros, Donna Maree, Denna Szwajkowski, Diane Garland, and of course the person behind the project itself, the wonderful Jo Worthy

Launching this book at the State Library of NSW at my Author Showcase event on the 30th of November is going to be a highlight of a year that's been a trick one - that's for sure

Here's to all of us RISING INTO OUR GREATNESS!
