The stash of over 600 copies of the book Father of Mine that someone purchased for $10,000 to be donated as desired is slowly decreasing. This generous act has allowed for the distribution of the books to various places.
As mentioned previously, 500 copies are being sent to the West Virginia Division of Correction and Rehabilitation to be given out at the 24 correctional facilities in the state. Requests for the remaining copies are being considered on a case-by-case basis.
Some copies have already been sent out, with more planned to go out every Friday. This is the journalist’s only somewhat normal day during football season, and the only day they get behind the wheel of their car.
For those interested in receiving a copy, a simple “I’d like to read it” won’t suffice. A formal request can be made by sending an email to [email protected]. Copies have been sent to high schools that are okay with the book’s explicit content, as well as to youth correctional facilities and for fundraising endeavors.
Once the stash of books is depleted, there is the possibility of the journalist replenishing it themselves. Despite not writing for financial gain, the satisfaction of creating something meaningful is the driving force behind their literary pursuits.
Having written books as a hobby for over four years, the journalist is currently working on their tenth and eleventh works. The original goal of 20 books has been revised to 30, with the only limitation being their ability to continue writing.
The eleventh book in the Father of Mine series is in progress, picking up where the previous installment left off. The writer admits to being 100 pages in with no clear direction, finding joy in piecing the story together one chapter at a time.
For those interested in reading Father of Mine, the ebook is available for a nominal fee of $3.99, while Son of Mine can be purchased for $4.99. Physical copies of either book can be acquired for just $14.99.
