We haven’t been doing much with Jacana Press and We Ran Away to Sea in the weeks since the audiobook was published. This is because we’ve been walking with backpacks on the pilgrim route Le Chemin de Vézelay, one of the four original pilgrimage routes through France to St. Jacques de Compostelle (also known as Santiago de Compostela) in Spain.
We walked for about 3 weeks, the amount of time we allotted. We carried a few bookmarks and one copy of the book, thinking we’d take advantage of photo ops, but, in truth, we forgot, except for one lovely morning along a waterway. You can follow our adventures on the blog posts that begin here on Caminobleu.com.
Meanwhile, book sales have picked up. I’m not sure if it’s the revised book description or if more people are looking to run away.
Below: Kent after reading a passage from We Ran Away to Sea near the conjunction of the Allier and the Loire, in Burgundy, France. I’m not able to upload the video, but you can view it on TikTok.
