I'm thrilled to learn, over the weekend, that a short selection of my aphorisms from Where Epics Fail has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, by Tiferet Journal.

Tiferet publishes high-quality poetry, prose and art that further meaningful dialogue about what it is to be humane and conscious in today's often divisive world. 

It's gratifying that excerpts from 'Epics' are receiving such recognition before the book's publication and I hope this bodes well for the book's eventual reception :)

As I mentioned in a previous update, "Where Epics Fail" is expected to be published in summer, 2018 — which means there's still time for you to share this pre-order link with friends and family (who appreciate pithy sayings).  Whoever orders from the link above will have their name included in the hardcover edition, as a token of appreciation, and they're welcome to use this shipping discount code: Yahia

Many thanks, for your ongoing attention and support.  I wish you, and loved ones, Happy Holidays around the bend!
