Inspiring Quote

© Brummet Media Group " There is a zone to writing.  It takes some effort, some hours of struggle to reach,  but once you're there,  the words flow as if from a spigot.  Thoughts fill up the page.  Your fingers function independently of your body and brain  as you tap out the poetry.  It's the groove that baseball hitters speak of.  The hot hand that basketball players relish.  It is that sweet moment in a race car  when everything slows down despite the speedometer reading 175 miles per hour.  Everything doable in life has a zone like this.  Find it and get into it.

Thank you, reviewers !

  Aren't our readers absolutely wonderful !? Find this book at:  https://www.amazon.ca/Down-Road-Collection-Dave-Brummet-ebook/dp/B0DYS8DVS9 His family memoir recently received this amazing review: “ Some books quietly punch history in the chest. Yours does it across four generations and then politely waits its turn. Down the Road is not just a memoir collection. It is living evidence.  Maria leaves a remote Romanian village alone to marry a man she had never met. A family shaped by WW1, WW2, the Great Depression, politics, migration, parenting, and the Okanagan Valley soil itself. These are not anecdotes. They are primary sources with heartbeats. What really got me was the structure. Multiple voices. Multiple eras. One family spine holding it together. That choice alone turns this from “a memoir” into a legacy artifact. And closing it with your own reflection, Dave, admitting how these written memories changed your understanding of your own family, was quietly devastatin...
