Hi guys, Rohan here 
Today I am extremely proud to announce the release of a new book, Potato Mashi: The Underground, Non-Dualist Sensation! The book was written, and the characters were created by my dad, David Virgin, and the illustrations were done by my mum, Clare Picasso. It’s the first time they’ve released a book so be sure to grab a copy and show them how well supported it is
The book itself is made up of 98 original sayings that my dad came up with during difficult times in his life to help him through, all with a philosophical, non-dualist theme. The sayings are accompanied by the 40 pictures by my mum. The sayings are challenging, uplifting and inspiring and I reckon there’s a message in there for everyone. Dad (David) has studied yoga and eastern philosophy since he was 18, he’s also a trained martial artist (Hapkido), family therapist and counselor. Oh and he’s also had 5 number 1 hits in the Australian Independent charts in the 80′s with his band Sekret Sekret!
Potato Mashi is out now on Amazon for $3.69, but if you don’t use Amazon you can pop $3.69 into the Ronations page, let me know, and I’ll send you on the book via email 
ALSO! FREE copies will be given to anyone who would like to review Potato Mashi for their blog, Amazon, Goodreads etc. If you’re interested please email me at rohan.healy@beardfirepublishing.com and I’ll send you the file.
Oh and one more thing! To celebrate the release of Potato Mashi, I’m making “The 7 Things That Made Me Genuinely & Irreversibly Happy” FREE on Amazon for 2 days! So be sure to grab it HERE, and even if you’ve read it yourself please let your friends and followers know they can get it for free for a short time
Just click the big book cover, or any time I’ve typed “Potato Mashi” and you’ll be taken to Amazon where you can preview and purchase the new book
Here’s the official description of Potato Mashi, hope you all enjoy the book and get some inspiration and enjoyment. Until next time, all the best, Rohan:
Immerse yourself in the Non-Dualist teachings of Potato Mashi: The Undergound, Non-Dualist Sensation. Across 98 separate sayings Potato Mashi covers love, loss, death, tyrants, possessions, desire, happiness, reincarnation, the nature of the self and much more.
Allow the wisdom of Potato Mashi to bring peace, joy, contentment and a smile to your life.
19. My commitment is to feel joy.
My obligation is to feel love.
My duty is to be at peace.
Commitment, obligation and duty.
What lie is upsetting me?
What truth is calming my soul?
~ Potato Mashi
The character of Potato Mashi and his sayings were created and written by rock’n'roll, folk and blues musician and songwriter David Virgin, with drawings by artist Clare Picasso.
“Allow me to introduce to you an old friend of mine, Potato Mashi. His wisdoms, sayings and instruction have helped me through some hard times, better enabled me to enjoy the good, remember what needs remembering and best of all forget what needs forgetting.
Through the pictures and words in this little book I dearly wish to share the joy and peace I have received with every reader.”
David Virgin

Well this does look really cool. But is it wrong that it kind of made me hungry?
Okay, I was already hungry. It just didn’t help. Kudos to you all, though!
Haha! Naw, that’s part of his a-peal (gotcha!). He’s raw and uncut you know, he speaks hard hitting non-dualist philosophy which can leave you hungry for more.
Hehe thanks! They are very proud to finally have their book out!
Rohan.
Such a creative and talented family! Looking forward to getting this
Thanks Rory! I look forward to hearing what you think of the book
Rohan.
Pretty awesome & talented family you have Rohan, you’re a lucky man! With names like Virgin and Picasso, talent’s your birthright, and your writing shows! I’m enjoying your book tremendously, review coming shortly. Blessings to you my friend.
Thank you Maddie
Yeah it’s weird, I think we must have been hit by a meteorite or something lol. My younger brother was playing the drums since he was 6, he now plays the upright bass, writes songs, writes books and can sculpt. He never spent a day in school, no one taught him to read or learn anything yet he reads and writes faster than most, and understands better as well. My older brother is a professor and surfer in Australia. We’re an odd bunch for sure lol!
That’s great, I’m glad you’re enjoying the book! I very much look forward to your review
I’ve been so overwhelmed by the response so far!
Take care, all the best
Rohan.
Indeed, what a family you guys! Admire your collective creativity!

Rohan, i’ll do the review sometime soon, will let you know when! Need to find some time for reading these days
Thank you Sofia! Very cool, I’ll email you with a review copy today
I’m sure you will very much “get” the messages in the sayings of Potato Mashi!
Take care, all the best
Rohan.
Hi Rohan
Just wanted to say I’m reading your comments over on Rory’s page and like what you’re saying. Also, I got the Potato Mashi book on Kindle from Amazon the other day, it’s completely full of amazing observations about ND. I’m interested in learning how to create an eBook too – maybe you can point me in the direction to find out more about that? Thanks for posting…
Thank you
My dad will be very happy to hear that! I’ve formatted and released three eBooks now, there’s really nothing to it once you know how.
I’d recommend you take a look at Smashwords.com. Once you have your text file finished, you upload it with them and they will distribute your book to all major stores like itunes, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo etc.
You can also publish directly to Amazon through Kindle Direct Publishing.
I’d also recommend you download and read these three free ebooks:
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/145431
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/305
Do your research and go slowly, it’s easy when you know how but it takes a little while to learn everything.
Good luck and let me know how you get on
Take care, all the best!
Rohan.
Thanks for the info, that’s really helpful. I’ll check out these links. Still going through Potato Mashi and may get back to you with a couple of questions…
