Gift

This blog is a book writing project laid bare. I am waist deep in research. I seek treasures and share them here for others to partake of them. 

  • If you would like to express your gratitude for the project by leaving a tip, you can do so at my kofi page

  • Or you can buy me one of the books in the book list below. Use the contact form on the front page of this blog to send an email and I will provide my address for you to send the book. Also, please let me know the book you are sending so I can scratch it off the list. 

  • You can also use the contact box on the front page to start a conversation with me or you can leave a comment on the blog articles. All of which are excellent gifts and a show of support. 
  • Finally, you can share this blog with a musician friend who might enjoy it.
