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!

Slow Productivity by Cal Newport: Good Reminder, Not As Good as Deep Work

Slow Productivity by Cal Newport: Good Reminder, Not As Good as Deep Work

In Slow Productivity Newport says that our current definition of productivity is broken. Busyness has become a proxy for actual effort, and that history’s most creative and impactful people worked very differently than we do today. I buy into this premise completely. Newport is one of the clearest thinkers writing about work and attention right now, and I always appreciate his thoughts. Here’s a review about what I found valuable and perhaps not as valuable.

Why I Keep Starting New Things in Retirement (And Why You Should Too)

The truth about retirement is, I’m still figuring out which challenges belong in my days and which problems I really want to solve. I’m still learning what it means to do hard things by choice rather than by obligation and how to find the right balance between the ebb of rest and the flow of something hard that I think matters. Here’s what I’ve figured out so far.

The Best Part of Our Viking Rhine Trip Was After the Boat: Switzerland, Lake Como & Milan

Our extension, which went from Basel through the Swiss Alps by the scenic Bernina Express train, two nights in St. Moritz, another scenic train into Italy, a stop at Lake Como, and two nights in Milan, was fantastic. It had everything the river cruise sometimes lacked: free time, fitness centers, beautiful hotels, and the feeling that the pace was ours to explore. Let me tell you how our post-extension to Switzerland and Italy went.
