New Book

岡山在住の元同僚からのメール（宣伝）です。彼女、Amy ChavezはJT Japan Liteのコラムニストとしてつとに有名で、その文体のうまさには定評があります。わたしからもお奨めします！（UG）

Hello friends and bovines,

This is just an email to inform you that my new book "Running the Shikoku Pilgrimage: 900 Miles to Enlightenment" was just released by Volcano Press (ISBN 978-1-884244-35-3). The book is about my 900 mile (1,350 km) run around Shikoku, Japan--a journey that lasted five weeks.

You can read more about it and order the print copy here:

Here's what some of your favorite writers are saying about my book:

"Running the Shikoku Pilgrimage is an extremely well written book-- humorous, touching, rich in detail and brimming with insights." Robert Whiting

"...inspiring...charming and very funny." Sujata Massey

"...one of the most insightful descriptions of the Japanese character I've ever encountered...a remarkable read." Boye Lafayette De Mente

"...master of the light touch.." Alex Kerr

"A delightful tale." Dinty W. Moore

"Very inspiring," Australian Women's Health

And last but not least, the foreword to the book was written by Barefoot Ted McDonald, one of the most colorful characters in Christopher McDougall's bestselling book "Born to Run."
Now, go order a copy and find out for yourself why someone like me would run 900 miles! http://ow.ly/fxupo

Get a copy for yourself and for that special person on your Christmas list who loves Japan, running, or just being inspired.
Thank you and I hope you join me on the pages of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. You won't be disappointed :) Oh, and feel free to forward this on to anyone else you think might be interested.

Major Moos to you and yours,
Amy Chavez
