Hello Mr. Bralich--
Your new book sounds interesting and worthwhile; good luck with its distribution and sales.
Having read the press release through link provided, I've noticed a little matter that you will want to correct, most likely:
"Unlike much of Kerouac, this book is grounded in wide reading, wide practice and training in the Zen and Tibetan Buddhist disciplines, and an adherence to academic principals of reporting and describing phenomenon," explains Bralich.
I believe the underscored term should be "principles."
Sincerely,
Gay Claiborne

My memoir / expose of the seedier side of the beats, the hippies, and the new age is now available. Press release at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9209654.htm.
The dedication:
"This book is dedicated to the elucidation of 'the best
minds of my generation destroyed by madness,' to
those who have sought to stop the madness rather than
exacerbate it, to the best minds of the Eastern and
Western traditions who never succumbed to the madness,
and to the victims of those who did."
The opening poem:
He*rd said.
He said she said that they said I said . but
What I really said
Is I think it's you instead.
