Radical Shifts Book Release Party Date Changed

Hello!  We have changed the date for my Book Release Party for my memoir Radical Shifts to March 23, 2019.  The reason is that our publisher needs 6 weeks to manufacture the books.  Last night Cyndie and I did more editing on the manuscript.  We have less than 100 pages to go!  Then we will read through it again a couple of times for a final edit, checking grammar, spelling, punctuation and so on.

The book will first be released as a paperback, almost 500 pages.  Then it will come out on Amazon/Kindle as an e-book and finally as an audio book.  I will be narrating the audio book in our studio.  Our plan is to have me appear on various TV and Radio and Internet talk shows to discuss my book.

Last night I choose a variety of synthesizer settings for our upcoming concept album which will be released in 2020.  We plan on buying ProTools again to do the album.  We will use Cyndie's Mac laptop to record with as it is newer than mine.

We have recently added Myztery to Snapchat.  I am trying to figure out how to put a link to Snapchat on our Myztery website.

Have an awesome day and thanks for reading!

Good morning!  A couple of days ago I met a guy who took our Myztery card and he said he would give it to his friend in the Yukon and they may have Myztery play a concert there at the Dawson music festival (Blue Feather).  I have been on tour across Canada from Vancouver to Newfoundland but I have not yet been to the Yukon or Nunavit and would love to tour up there.

We are getting more and more people following us on Instagram since we recently started posting photos on that site.  I have been writing music for our upcoming concept album to be released in 2020.  My next task is to work on a synthesizer part for one of the songs.  I always carry Myztery cards in my pocket. "Be prepared" is the Boy Scouts motto :)  You never know who you are going to meet.

We will start rehearsing for live shows soon.  We will be playing some Myztery songs at my book release party on February 22nd.  We have a large party room in our condo complex that we have booked for the event.  It starts at 7 pm and the address is 7058 14th Ave, Burnaby, BC and you are welcome to come!  Just call me at 604-379-5936 when you arrive at the front door and we will let you in the building.  Snacks and soft drinks will be provided.

Have an awesome day!

Radical Shifts Book Release Party

You are invited to the Myztery Book Release Party for my memoir Radical Shifts!  It will take place on Friday, February 22, 2019 at the Party Room, 7058 14th Ave., Burnaby, BC, 7 pm.  Call 604-379-5936 when you arrive at the entrance to the building and you will be let in.  Free parking on 14th or 17th St.

The book will be released as a paperback for $20, an ebook for $10 and an audio book for $10.  We will be playing some acoustic classic rock songs at the party on acoustic guitar as well as some original Myztery songs.  There will be soft drinks and snacks provided.  I will be signing copies of the book for those who want that.  

I have been working on my book for almost 20 years!  It started with my online testimony on a Christian music site I started and developed over the years into a book.   Rolf Kempf, who wrote Alice Cooper's hit song "Hello! Hurray" does the preface to the book.  He wrote: "If you are interested in spiritual seeking and looking for a higher meaning in life, there is something in this book for you."

Recording for Blood and Water Begins!

Hello!  Today we will begin recording our album Blood and Water.  The first song is called Consuming Fire.  It will be played on the classical guitar in drop D tuning.  I may get around to recording the vocals today as well.  I didn't have any concerts today so I went to noon mass at St. Peter's church in New Westminster.  Cyndie is working in Squamish today.

We bought a new set of studio monitor headphones yesterday at Long and McQuade and they sound amazing!  One Sunday this month we will have our Advent retreat at Westminster Abbey in Mission, BC.  Cyndie traded in her old car for another car that is easier to ride in on her many journeys.  I am planning to release my memoir, Radical Shifts, on February 22 of 2019.  This is the feast day of the Chair of St. Peter, so I thought it would be a good day to release my book :)

I made a good confession yesterday for the first week of Advent at Holy Rosary Cathedral in Vancouver and stayed for the 5:10 pm mass.  Please pray that I have the discipline to wake up and stay up and pray at 6 am Monday to Friday, which will enable us to get to daily mass at 8:15 am.  My mother is out of the hospital after having had two falls and bumping her hed.  She is happy at home now and has three caregivers, as well as the family, to look after her.  She loves having her cat with her as well.  Have a great day!

Launch Team for Radical Shifts

Greetings!  I have created a Facebook Group called Launch Team for Radical Shifts by Pete Mason.  You can join here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2187428531531123/  To join this group you agree to read my book, leave a review on day 1, share the book with friends, and support the launch which is scheduled for February 22, 2019.

You will get a free paperback copy of the book as well as your name in the digital book and be a part of something inspiring with the personal satisfaction of helping create something meaningful.

Tonight I am giving a talk on Our God is a Consuming Fire. It will be held at our charismatic prayer meeting in St. Francis de Sales church hall, 6610 Balmoral St., Burnaby, BC, 7:30 pm.  I will also be singing and playing guitar.  Hope you can make it out!

St. Therese and St. Faustina both experienced the burning love and mercy of God in Jesus and offered themselves as victims of love for the salvation of souls.  St. Francis of Assisi also burned with love for God so much that he actually bore the wounds of love, the Stigmata, on his body.  We are also called to be transformed by God's burning love.  It is especially by receiving Jesus in Holy Communion that we experience the spiritual fire of God consuming us.  Have a great day!

Heaven ROCKS! to Be Re-Released

Good morning!  We have decided to re-release Cyndie's book Heaven ROCKS! which is about her near-death experience at age 13.  We will have the cover re-designed and put into place a proper marketing plan with the help of an expert in marketing named Penny.  It is a powerful spiritual journey and easy to read.  In a couple of weeks we will be talking a little about it as well as our group the Missionaries of Merciful Love at our prayer meeting at St. Francis de Sales church in Burnaby, BC  We will offer for sale Cyndie's book as well as my book, A Year of Merciful Love and also some of our music CDs.

Yesterday we gave another box of items to a local charity, thus simplifying our space.  We have more to give away in time.  It feels great to help the poor and get more space in our condo at the same time.  I am continuing to compose music on my classical guitar for our upcoming Blood and Water album, which will likely come out sometime in 2019.  I am also busy singing in care homes.  We have confirmed our Song of the Lamb concert at St. Peter's church in New Westminster for Saturday, October 20, 6:30 pm,  330 Royal Ave.,  Free admission.  See our Song of the Lamb website to hear our music www.songofthelamb.net 

Radical Shifts - Memoir of Pete Mason

Cyndie and I are editing my memoir, which is now called Radical Shifts.  I am enjoying the writing process and seeing how God has led me in my vocation to a life of merciful love.  We  are planning to publish the book on February 22, 2019, the feast of the Chair of St. Peter, Apostle.  It will be a paperback and e-book and audio book.

The photo above will be the cover photo.  It was taken in Penetanguishene, Ontario.  I am holding a wood cross I made from the site where the Canadian martyrs died for their faith.  Cyndie's dad lives there and many of her relatives, aunts and uncles and cousins.  I have created a new personal website at www.petemason.org  There you can read my testimony and get my free e-book Spiritual Weapons and also the ebook Prayer for the Renewal of the Church.

I will soon be recording the first song for our Blood and Water album.  I play the song on classical guitar.  We will use our home studio to save on recording costs.  The title of the first song is Consuming Fire.  Our God is a consuming fire, Scripture says.  The song also has the line "God is love."  We are also building a new website for Cyndie but it is not up and running yet.  We have a new Director for the MML (Missionaries of Merciful Love) in Nigeria:   Fr. Chris Princewill.  He will help organize the inquirers, novices and members of the MML in that part of the world.

Have a great day!
