Did You Publish a Book in 2019 or 2020?

September 9, 2020 by John Byrne Barry

At our last member meeting, we shared an idea that emerged from discussions about the BAIPA book contest, which we haven’t had the bandwidth to launch over the past few years.

What if, instead — or someday, in addition to — we were to highlight all the books published by our members every year?

Not only is this an opportunity for our members to strut their stuff, it’s a way to show prospective members how prolific and accomplished our members are. 

We’re going to give this a try for 2019 and 2020.

If you’ve published a book in 2019 or 2020, fill out the form below. If you have more than one book, fill it out for each book. See criteria below.

Here’s an example. (Excuse the self-promotion, but it’s one of the few perks of being BAIPA webmaster.)


When I Killed  My Father: An Assisted Suicide Family Thriller

John Byrne Barry

When I Killed My Father

What if your father asked you to kill him?

Psychologist Lamar Rose’s father is suffering from cancer and dementia, and wants his son to help him end his life. Lamar refuses, but his father keeps asking, and he relents.

Then, from the pulpit of the church at his father’s memorial, his sister accuses him of murder. When I Killed My Father is a page-turner with a conscience, about a man caught between what is compassionate and what is legal. Though the novel addresses heavy and provocative issues like mercy killing, dementia, and family strife, it’s entertaining and moves with the pace of a thriller.

✭✭✭✭✭ Wild Ride, Serious Subject

While clearly the underlying message is whether assisted suicide for terminally ill or demented people is a moral issue that deserves more open discussion, and the book is definitely a serious look at the subject, there are parts that are very funny. John Byrne Barry is a terrific author. He makes every character come to life. [Susan K., Goodreads]


Criteria

  1. You are either the author, contributor, or publisher.
    (You can include a short story or essay you wrote as part of a collection.)
  2. The book was published in 2019 or 2020.

Any other questions, contact us as [email protected]

    John, is there a deadline for submitting our books?

    • Webmaster says

      Mike, no deadline yet, but we will come up with one. (And we’ll probably be lenient about it too.)

    Questions about the form: We are asked for a link to the cover image. I can send the image, but no link. Same for author photo. BAIPA link to member profile?

    • Webmaster says

      September 10, 2020 at 11:33 am

      Nancy, if your image in online, you can click on it, and then either right-click (Windows), or mouseclick (Mac) to get the image address. Or you can send images to [email protected].

      (If you have the images on a website or Amazon page, I can get them myself too.)

      — John

    Hi John,

    I listed my book a couple of days ago, but it has not appeared. I just wanted to make sure I did not do something wrong in my submission. The book is Shifting Gears; 50 Baby Boomers Share Their Meaningful Journeys in Retirement.

    I can also be contacted at [email protected] or 650-851-3133.

    Thanks.

    In the midst of filling out the form, I left the page to get a link, then could not find my way back. I only found a blank form. Does the form delete contents if we leave it? Or is my form hiding somewhere I can’t find it?
