Agile Discovery & Delivery Available Through Ingram Spark

February 27, 2024

I’ve got some exciting news today! My book, Agile Discovery & Delivery, is now also available via Ingram Spark! What’s Ingram Spark, you say? It’s a publishing company that has a wide distribution network to bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Target, all the independent bookstores) and libraries. So, you may very well see my book at your local library or bookstore soon! It’s also still available, of course, on Amazon. I’ve already seen it show up at Barnes & Noble, Thriftbooks, and other bookshops, which is just so awesome!

With Ingram Spark, I now have a book with a nice book jacket (which you can see in the featured picture) and I really like how it turned out. I, again, used GetCovers to make tweaks to my hardcover & paperback covers for Ingram Spark.

Request a Copy For Your Library

Would you do me a giant favor? To help make my book more available to everyone that needs to read it, would you request that your local library get a copy? It takes two minutes and it’s free! Libraries are always looking for new books that their reader base will enjoy. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Grab your library card, as you will need to enter your library card number

  2. Search for your local library’s Request a Book page

    Search for “<your library name> Request a Book” or “<your library name> Book Recommendation” and you should find a link straight to the book request form. I was able to easily find links for Madison Public Library, Fairfax Public Library, San Francisco Public Library, and Seattle Public Library in about two minutes.

  3. Fill out the form, here are some common answers you’ll need:

    Book Title: Agile Discovery & Delivery: A Survival Guide for New Software Engineers & Tech Entrepreneurs
    Book Author: Amber R. Field
    ISBN: 9798988482208
    Publication Date: Nov 22, 2023
    Subject: Agile Software Development
    Publisher: Ingram Spark
    Format: Book
    Audience: Adults
    Type: Non-fiction

  4. Submit – Thanks a ton for requesting my book!

Afternoon Tea, ABBA, and Endless Wandering: A Weekend In Milwaukee

The Milwaukee I spent a weekend in recently with my two teenage daughters is walkable, beautiful in places, rich in culture and history, and full of the kind of off-script moments that make a girls’ weekend memorable long after it’s over. If you’ve been avoiding Milwaukee, it might be time to think again.

Retiring Early When You Still Have Kids at Home

Most retirement content (books, podcasts, financial planning guides) is written for people whose kids have left the nest. The vision it sells is the same as the one I had going in: extended travel, leisurely mornings, and complete control over your calendar. You do get some of that. It’s just not the whole picture when you have to get someone to dance at 6pm.

Jane Austen’s Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney Is The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Romney’s book, Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, is incredibly well-written and eye-opening. Somewhere between her descriptions of the fascinating world of rare book dealing and her excavation of the lives and hardships of famous female authors of the 1700s and 1800s, I realized something that stopped me cold: we have let men curate so much more than just our decisions about what to read. I quickly gave this book five stars. Here’s why you might like to read it too.
