April Updates + Your Chance to Win a Signed Book & Journal Set!
Announcements and stuff!

Hi friends,
There’s a lot happening this spring, and I’m so excited to share it with you!
Meet Me This Weekend!
I’ll be at the Country Reporter Festival in Grand Prairie, TX this Saturday and would love to see you there! It’s free to attend, and I’ll be signing copies of From the Piney Woods, stop by and say hello!
Next Book Update: The Plus One Theory
Progress is in full swing! I’m on track to send The Plus One Theory to the editor this August. This isn’t just another book, it’s a movement. Rooted in real life and built on a simple but powerful idea: what if we all gave just a little more when it mattered most? One more step. One more act of kindness. One more moment of courage.
This message has already shaped my podcast, speaking events, and daily life, and soon, it’ll be in your hands. I'm gearing up for a crowdfunding campaign, so stay tuned for ways you can help bring it to life!
Here’s how to stay connected with everything:
Short Stories from the Heart of the Piney Woods – New stories every Tuesday
The Plus One Theory Podcast – Real talk about growth, grit, and giving more

Thank you for supporting this journey, from the piney woods to the page, and now to The Plus One Theory.
P.S. I made a fun video of (with the help of my beautiful daughter-in-law) using my short story, “The Runner’s Journey” to explain what The Plus One Theory is all about!
With gratitude,
PJ Hamilton (Pam Dwyer)
