The Deep Massage Book – update!

About a year and half ago I wrote about the process of writing The Deep Massage Book, which I’ve been doing, off and on, for a number of years.

So here’s an update.  I’m done with the writing and the commissioned illustrations from a fantastic local medical artist, Christy Krames, MA.

I’ve pasted the table of contents below.  I am honored that it will be published by Redwing Books, one of the oldest and finest publishers of books on alternative medicine since the early 1970’s. It will be out by early 2012 – possibly February.

So wish me luck and pluck on this last leg of this part of the journey.
