Ken Wilber (http://wilber.shambhala.com/) calls Fading Toward Enlightenment "Pretty Cool!"
For those of you who don't know who Ken Wilber is, he has been called "the Einstein of consciousness" and is probably one of the most respected philosophical thinkers of our time. Hopefully this will open some doors and make those "1st Edition/1st Print Run" copies you bought worth something.

Fading Toward Enlightenment is starting to receive a number of great reviews and newsgroup postings:

• Lillian Brummet, book reviewer for Book Ideas: "I found that I would read a sentence and then look at the photo; back and forth - each page a slow and rewarding process to savor."
• Jerry Katz, editor of Nonduality.com: "The different voices, the photographs, the one-line quotations, come together to bring the reader a story that is solid in its wholeness. The haiku-like photographs and the poetic quality of the prose confer a liquidity or fluidity to this autobiography."
• Steve Sauder, moderator of the Power of Now newsgroup : "What struck me was Wayne's transparency and easy-to-access style…. You can't just read this one once, but may find yourself Fading Toward Enlightenment yourself each time you read it."

A French magazine, Third Millennium, contacted me out of the blue and will be running four of my photographs in their July issue. I hope they get the credit line right, the French language is Greek to me.

I would like to thank Jenny Munday, a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, who read Fading Toward Enlightenment and recommended it to quite a few people (Jerry Katz of Nonduality.com above was one of them). This started a snowball effect, and because of it, a number of new sales and satisfied readers. It is amazing how one person can so easily start a wave that positively affects so many peoples lives. If you've read Fading Toward Enlightenment, please, don't keep it a secret - let others know.

Finally, I'll be doing my first book signing at Shining Through in Delray Beach, Florida on June 30th, 7-9pm, during the Art and Jazz Festival. Please come by and keep me company, I'll be the one in the back looking uncomfortable and self-conscious.

Peace,
