New Personal Pete Mason Website Coming Soon!

Today's photo is from a Christian Info News newspaper story they did on me and my Christian music website at the time.  Photographer:  Anon.  I have decided to shut down the Radical Shifts website and instead build a personal website with my name as an author, musician and artist.  I am reading a couple of books on how to market my book online and offline.

Tonight we will have a Myztery meeting to discuss my book and the recording of our 5th album.  We will soon start booking Myztery in local churches and possibly pubs as well.  I have a solo concert in Vancouver this afternoon.

We will likely purchase the recording software called Reaper.  Pro Tools is good but is too expensive for us.  I have decided to send out our Myztery ezine (e-newsletter) twice a month.  You can sign up for it on our website at www.myztery.net  You get our free Myztery debut album as soon as you sign up!

We will start reading my manuscript out loud to check for flow, chronological order, spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.

Have a great day!

Two New Websites Coming Soon!

Greetings!  Photo:  Cyndie on our Myztery tour in Ontario in Midland holding a cross I made where the Canadian Martyrs died.  A couple of days ago I completed the lyrics to the title track of our 5th Myztery album, which will be released in November of 2020.  Yesterday we unplugged from the computer and went for a long walk beside the ocean at Kitsilano beach.  It was great!  Today I have a solo concert in West Vancouver and I  hope to work on the music and lyrics for our 2nd song for the upcoming album.  Our friend Lisa Midler has volunteered to do an edit of my manuscript for my memoir, Radical Shifts.  Cyndie and I still need to read through the whole thing as well.

I bought a 2019 planner book yesterday and will use it for the marketing of my memoir to contact media, bloggers, etc. to promote my Radical Shifts book.  It is good to have almost 7 months to prepare for the launch of my book.  I am learning a lot online in this regard.

Another project we will do eventually is release our solo albums on a new website we are building.  I have a few albums I did as a solo artist, starting in 1989.  They are all Christian songs.  I am also building a website for my book Radical Shifts.  If you sign up for our ezine (e-newsletter) The Myztery Buzzer you will get our Myztery debut album for free.  Sign up at www.myztery.net 

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

New Release Date for Radical Shifts Book



We have delayed the book release date for my memoir, Radical Shifts, to September 14, 2019.  This will give us more time to contact media for interviews, articles, promotion and marketing to local, regional, national and international media outlets like newspapers, radio, TV, internet, blogs, etc.

Today we will do a verbal read through of the book to check the flow of it and check any spelling mistakes, grammar and punctuation.  Cyndie has been a huge help in this area.  We will complete the editing on February 22, 2019, the feast of the Chair of Peter.  This is a highly symbolic date for me, with my name being Peter :)  I have a cool gold and red chair that we used for a Myztery photo shoot with Tom Hawkins in Vancouver a while back.

You can read the Foreword and Chapter One of Radical Shifts here:  https://www.wattpad.com/697646285-radical-shifts-foreword-and-chapter-one?utm_source=web&utm_medium=facebook&utm_content=share_reading&fbclid=IwAR15VHH4npB1qhrNkOzKm3pXuF4rNFx4eHgnFTfRphurVlA4hITfNS5jKWg

We have started Myztery rehearsals twice a week:  Tuesday and Thursday evenings.  We went over two songs for an upcoming album last night.  I played acoustic guitar and Cyndie played keyboards.  I am also composing music for our next concept album to be released in November of 2020.  We plan to release a "regular" album after the concept album.  We certainly don't have a shortage of material to work with!

We will likely hire our friend Kelly Stodola to do the drums for the concept album.  He is a solid session drummer and plays drums with many local bands.  He did a show with us at Presentation Theatre in North Vancouver a while back.  I have a solo concert today in Mission, BC, about an hour from where we will live in Burnaby.  Have a great day and keep on rockin'!

Stage One of Editing Complete!

Yesterday I complete Stage One of editing of my memoir, Radical Shifts.  This means I have gone through the entire manuscript checking for proper chronological order, spelling, grammar and necessary information.  Now I will leave the manuscript alone for a week and then pick it up again and read it out loud with Cyndie for Stage Two of the editing process.  After that, we will correct any mistakes etc in Stage Three and then we will be ready to submit the manuscript for printing in Ontario.

If you would like to join our Myztery Radical Shifts Launch Team visit this link:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2187428531531123/?ref=bookmarks 

Members of the Radical Shifts Launch Team will get their name in the paperback book as well as the ebook and receive a free e-book!  Your duty will be to spread the news of the books release on May 11, 2019 at 7pm PST in Burnaby, BC.  It would also be great if you posted a review of the e-book on Kindle Amazon on May 13, 2019, two days after the release.

I am also composing music for our 5th Myztery album, to be released in November of 2020.  It is a concept album, similar in some ways to our debut concept album Myztery and our Tempus Fugit album.  I am also building a unique website that goes along with the album and it will feature the music and lyrics and storyline of the album. 

Today is Valentine's Day so we wish you all a very Happy Valentine's day!  Tonight I have a solo gig in Vancouver and we are going out for dinner after that in Burnaby.  Have a great day and thanks for reading! :)

Cover of Radical Shifts Finished



Abstract Marketing has completed the cover of my upcoming memoir, Radical Shifts, specifically Lisa.  Our completion date for editing the book is February 22, 2019, the feast of the Chair of Peter :)  It is a good date to finish it on.  Our release party is still May 11, 2019 in the party room of our condo complex.  I am hoping to also have a book signing at Chapters in Metrotown, Burnaby.  I will approach them once I have the book in my hands to show them.

Our Radical Shifts Launch Team is growing!  We now have 5 members from Canada and the USA and Nigeria.  Look up Radical Shifts Launch Team on Facebook if you would like to join.  Members get their names in the paperback book and e-book and get a free e-book.  The duties of members is to promote the book release party and the book to their friends and family both online and offline.

I am still composing music for our next album which will be released in 2020.  It will be another concept album along the lines of our debut album and Tempus Fugit, but the songs won't be 15 minutes long this time! :)  I have also built a website for the album like the one I built for Tempus Fugit www.myztery-tempus-fugit.net

We have added a sign up button for our e-newsletter.  Everyone who signs up gets access to our Myztery debut album which we recorded and released in 2005.

Have a great day and KEEP ON ROCKIN'!
