Hello and welcome to Revolutions.

Bonus audiobook excerpt, Chapter 22 of Hero of Two Worlds.

Hello I am back again.

It's presently Friday September 2, 2022 and we are just days away from both the final

return of the Revolutions podcast and the beginning of the paperback tour for Hero of Two Worlds.

To get the pre-tour hype train rolling, I am here now to release another excerpt from

the Hero of Two Worlds audiobook.

Specifically, this will be Chapter 22, the nation's guest.

Now I chose this chapter because it's the one about Lafayette's tour of the United

States in 1824 and 1825 and hey look, I'm about to be on tour.

What a great thematic link.

But also, this chapter is going to come up in the talk I'll be doing while I'm out

on tour because that talk is about how we make choices as authors about what goes into

a book like this and what gets left out, what gets elaborated on and what gets truncated,

what informs our choices about what we think important to talk about and why and I use

Chapter 22 as an example of how and why I made the choices I did.

Now if you would like to come out and hear me talk about this stuff, I will be on tour

from September 6th to September 24th and I will be traveling in order from Madison to

Chicago to Portland to Seattle to Boulder to Denver to Dallas to Austin to Houston to New

Orleans to Atlanta to Chapel Hill to Raleigh and then we actually just added the bookmarks

book festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on September 24th so that's where I'll be

ending.
