Thanks, Mitch, for your feedback. It’s definitely appreciated. What hills are you talking about? 😀 You mean the ones where I left a lung or two over all these years? 😉

Personally, I would dive straight in! A really great hook would be a “cold open”: a particularly grueling walk up one of those infamous hills. That would suck in readers, keep them engaged and give them a chance to appreciate your brand of wit and wisdom. 🙂

I hope you have fun writing your book!

Cheers,

Mitch
