The Black Journal

Zachry K. Douglas, brings his next book to you, number 31 for himself, and the last the installment for the Italy series. Over the course of two weeks, he was able to fill two journals and one complete notebook with writings and journal entries, as well as type several pages while vacationing in Italy last October. The trip itself changed him and the way he saw the world, even more so than the time he lived in Utah during 2018-2019. This last book is from a black journal he bought while in the city of Raddi. He brought it back with him, along with eight other leather journals he bought at a store called, Wanderlust. Each journal entry was dated and timestamped, as well as the place he was at when he wrote it. This book is similar to, The Red Journal, with its size, length, and the writings, though this time most of them were written down in Utah and the final pages were done in Texas. It is a closing of a chapter for him, but still very much opened to returning to Italy one of these days, to a different region, but hopefully again to the Tuscany area. Thank you for the support of his work and for giving him a means to travel and do what he loves to do the most. Each book he puts out into the world is like a child to him. One he raised and nurtured and then said goodbye to, because once a writer completes the book, it is no longer theirs to have. Please enjoy the reading and know how much Mr. Douglas appreciates you and your kindness over all of these years.
