Re-release of My Past Life as a Dung Beetle!




Hello! Today is the re-release of My Past Life as a Dung Beetle. I'm very excited. It has a brand new cover, by artist Ashley Atkins, and a few minor additions. The story was inspired by my brother, who buys storage units and collects all kinds of stuff. I was afraid to admit that before because I didn't want him to think I was making fun of him. Quite the contrary! My brother is quite a character and has a wonderful wife. I have added a dedication to him.

I absolutely love the new cover. Ashley Atkins read the story and created a perfect representation of it.

BLURB:

Jim Williams loves to collect stuff, but his wife thinks it's all crap. He may have led a past life as a dung beetle.

REVIEWS:

Yes, it’s only 11 pages long, but in these 11 pages is a truly wonderful, unique story that has you thinking and laughing with every sentence. It’s about a man who believes that in his past life he was a dung beetle, of which he is quite proud. Why would anyone want to be a dung beetle, you are probably asking? I know I was. By the end of this book, you’ll have that answer, along with a warm feeling in your heart for the man and his family.

(The 2nd edition is 13 pages long.)

Finally a book of hoarder justifications! Junk collectors and their families would appreciate this book. This book won’t cure junk retention, but it might make you laugh.

My past life as a dung beetle is about a collector of random stuff and his family. I had no idea what to expect when I started reading it, and the first couple of pages both amused and confused me. They were funny and cute, but I didn't get it. Then, the story really got going, and I hurried through it with a smile on my lips. All the pieces fell into place and everything made sense.

I'm sure I stem from a genetic line of gatherers. I save all sorts of crap because it might be useful at some point in the future. My husband has a collection of collections. My past life as a dung beetle made me smile with recognition, root for the hero, and sympathize with the heroine. It is a touching story about life, well worth reading.
