Sutter Creek resident Mike Sweeney just released his first book - Your Book of Poems.  Many of the poems in the book were written during Sweeney’s 20-year hike of the 2,650-mile Mexico to Canada, Pacific Crest Trail that he completed in August of this year.  At first, Sweeney says he just wanted to write a book of poetry on his hikes.  Eventually, however, he realized that he was writing a guide to overcoming writer’s block -- by setting goals to help inspire his fellow baby boomers get back to doing things rather than just being spectators. Your Book of Poems is a guide to using goals, action plans, and imagination to create a book in one year or less.  It contains everything needed (including templates) to not only write a book, but to use this experience as a bridge to accomplishing additional goals in music, art, sports, or whatever a person aspires to accomplish. Your Book of Poems is published by Infinity Publishing under Sweeney’s pen name: Sweonardo da Vinci.  He’ll be signing books is at Hein and Company on Saturday, December 8th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.   It can be purchased locally at The Bubble Gum and On Purpose bookstores in Sutter Creek and at Hein and Company in Jackson.
