Set in the town of\nMercy on the north coast of California, these stories may be read as stand-alone\ncreations or as interconnected tales. The stories in <em>Why You Are Here and other stories<\/em> first appeared on my blog and were\nrefined for this collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reader reviews and readers telling friends about the book constitute the entirety of my sophisticated sales strategy. So if you <em>do<\/em> get a copy of <em>Why You Are Here and other stories<\/em> and enjoy the collection, it would be fabuloso if you would write a rave review, even just a line or two, and\/or rate the book, <em>and<\/em> tell your friends. If you order the collection from a bookstore or a site that doesn\u2019t post reviews, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?utf8=\u2713&amp;query=todd+walton\">Goodreads<\/a> would be a great place to rate the book and post a review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Handsome paperbacks with a gorgeous cover featuring a photograph I took of a crashing wave may be ordered through Your Favorite Local Bookstore or purchased online. Below are links to online stores selling the paperback and E-book editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/underthetablebooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Why-You-Are-Here-Book-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5682\" width=\"192\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/underthetablebooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Why-You-Are-Here-Book-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/underthetablebooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Why-You-Are-Here-Book-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/underthetablebooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Why-You-Are-Here-Book.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Links for Handsome Paperbacks<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alibris.com\/Why-You-Are-Here-and-other-stories-Todd-Walton\/book\/51715786?matches=1\">Alibris ($14.55 and accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/why-you-are-here-and-other-stories\/9798885310888\">Bookshop ($16.95 and gives portion of sales to support actual bookstores)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/why-you-are-here-todd-walton\/1141647403?ean=9798885310888\">Barnes &amp; Noble ($16.95 and accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0B5NLRHGK\/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i5\">Amazon (price varies, accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00ad<em>Links for E-book editions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/why-you-are-here-and-other-stories\/id6443071848\">Apple Books ($5.99 accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/why-you-are-here-todd-walton\/1141647403?ean=2940186742630\">Barnes &amp; Noble Nook Book ($5.99 accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0B5NLRHGK\/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i5\">Amazon Kindle ($5.99 accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Todd_Walton_Why_You_Are_Here_and_other_stories?id=65t4EAAAQBAJ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">Google Play ($5.99 accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/why-you-are-here\">Kobo Books ($5.99 accepts reviews)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Thanks! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Todd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book Why You Are Here and other stories \u2014 fifteen tales of self-discovery, love, survival, friendship, creativity, and the quest for meaningful ways to spend this precious life.
