Now on Kindle

Greetings, fans and followers!

Though most of my books are already available in eBook format (6 out of my 7 titles), They weren't previously available on Kindle.  I didn't really think much of it as an issues of consequence, until people started to reply on social media about me not having any of my titles on Kindle.  I had initially ranted about this before, I believe on LinkedIn, but you can't really fight against the industry standard.

SO...I now have my titles available on Kindle!!!  You can click the link here:

 https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_ebooks_1?ie=UTF8&text=Kevin+Sabio&search-alias=digital-text&field-author=Kevin+Sabio&sort=relevancerank

Currently, FIVE of my seven titles are on there; "Raise Your Brown Black Fist: The Political shouts of an Angry Afro Latino", "The Chronicles of The Black Fist", " In My Lifetime...:Funny Stories of Life Experiences", "Spittin' Lyrics N Waxin' Poetic", and "Drum Speaking: Tales From an Inner City Griot" are all available on Kindle.

Now that you know that my titles are listed on there now, PLEASE SUPPORT!!!  You have no excuse now to not download the book, and support me.  If you can't afford the paperback, the eBook is available, now on Kindle.

Anniversary of My Return

Today marks the 2-year anniversary of my return to New York.  It's been a bittersweet experience to say the least.  It's been two years since I made the decision to return back to my home town, and pursue my career as an author full-time.  I honestly DON'T regret that decision, despite the ups and MANY downs that I've gone through over the past two years.  I like my freedom to pursue my passion, and achieve my dreams.  I've always wanted to live off of my creative talents, and I'm doing just that.

It was ten years ago that I packed up, and moved out of NYC.  I needed a break.  I wasn't struggling, I wasn't surviving.....I just existed.  I got up...went to my crummy job...busted my ass at work...came home, and crashed.  That's no life to live.  I wasn't pursuing my dream of working in film and television, nor was I happy about the state of activism in the city at that time.  I saw the handwriting on the wall, and just said, "PEACE OUT!!!"  I don't regret leaving; I seriously needed that change at that point in my life.  I was able to achieve a lot on my own, and outside of NYC.  I doubt that I would've reached any of the goals that I've reached since my departure, nor would I have accomplished what I have as an activist or writer, had I stayed in NYC.

I left 10 years ago to better myself.  I'm considering leaving again.  I'll most likely go back to the Mid Atlantic; it's strategically convenient as far as my plans as a writer are concerned.  I have a good number of connections in that region, and it's still accessible to New York.  I may not want to live here anymore, but the city (and state for that matter) has a lot of resources.  Hopefully, I can be out of here, and relocate by the late summer/fall.

So, here's to my anniversary.  Here's to better things to come down the pipeline.  May I continue to grow, and my career take the positive path that I intended for it.  Please continue to support me, and I look forward to continuing to inspire, and impress.
