Daniel J. Mount’s Blog

Long before I discovered Southern Gospel, I grew up listening to Contemporary Christian music. In 2001, I started my first book, a history of the genre. After a book deal with a publisher fell through (due to financial difficulties on their part), I ended up deciding to self-publish the book. I printed up a few hard copies and made it available here as a free download online.

The book’s been up slightly less than two years now. During that time, a couple hundred people download it each month. It just occurred to me this afternoon that I hadn’t checked for months to see how many copies had been downloaded. I checked this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had just hit the 10,000 mark. To be precise, the book has been downloaded 10,538 times.

Well, I decided to take the plunge and start a personal blog. (I say personal since my Southern Gospel Blog is still running strong. This blog will deal with non-SG topics.)

Here I am!
