I’m delighted to announce that the Polish foreign rights for Just Keep Climbing have been sold to a publishing house in Poland. As most of you know, Just Keep Climbing features the stories of eight individuals who have overcome incredible odds to conquer their challenges. Watch for the book in Polish coming soon. In the meantime, the English version is available here:
Karen Meades and I did an interview on the Audio Signals Podcast a while back. It has recently been posted. See below.
Karen didn’t just challenge herself; she ran straight into the most extreme environments on the planet. From crossing the Amazon jungle, to enduring the brutal Sahara Desert, to racing through Antarctica, Karen has taken on ultramarathons that test not just the body, but the very essence of human resilience.
She wasn’t always an endurance athlete. In fact, she never even thought of herself as one. But a single decision—to run a local 5K—set her on a path that changed everything. Step by step, challenge by challenge, she discovered what she was truly capable of. She is the subject of my recent books, My Limitless Life: Karen Meades and you can hear her describe her adventures running across deserts and through jungles at the following links:
I have been busy writing away during the last two months. Work is progressing on my inspirational book, Just Keep Climbing. Based on my motto, “Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing,” the book features eight stories by amazing people who generously shared their journeys with me. Among them are a woman who changed her career from a salaried executive to writing full time, a woman who struggled with obesity until she became a champion body builder, two recovered drug addicts, a delightfully positive woman with stage four melanoma, and a family living in the middle of a conflict in Cameroon. Each is amazingly inspirational in their own way. They are going through the draft manuscript now. Publication is expected in the late summer or early fall.
In the meantime, Jake Scott has not been forgotten. Watch for a new Jake Scott mystery in the spring.
