Jekyll & Highsmith Publishers are pleased to announce the release of Galaxy of Fire: Journey to an Ancient Spiritual World, 2nd. Edition, published for the online Amazon Kindle(TM) devices and marketplace.

"There has been great interest in seeing Jay's book come back into print'" stated Jim Davis, senior editor at Jekyll & Highsmith, who has been working with the project for several years.

Adds Laura Latham, a marketing consultant working with Jekyll & Highsmith for the upcoming release, and a sister of the author, "working with the family, and using my brother's extensive unpublished notes, Jekyll & Highsmith has lovingly crafted a second edition of Jay's autobiographical story of his time in the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam conflict, and of the years following, when he was a Governor in the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation (TM) program."

Davis continues, "Jay's story is an everyman story, with a bigger-than-life twist. He writes about his search for the true meaning of life. His life pilgrimage detailed in the pages of Galaxy of Fire, 2nd Edition takes him, first, into the Vietnam conflict in Southeast Asia in the late 1960s, followed by his study of Vedic knowledge as part of Maharishi's TM program during the 1970s in the US, Switzerland and India, and culminates with his first of many pilgrimages to the holy Panch Kedar sites dedicated to Hindu god Shiva, in Nepal and in India's Uttarkashi region in 1985."

Latham adds, "this is a 2nd Edition of Jay's wonderful book, not simply a reprint of the 1st Edition. There were many things about the 1st Edition that my brother had planned to improve and clean up before its first publication, but he was unable to finish the work. The family is really thrilled with what Jekyll & Highsmith has been able to accomplish in order to realize my brother's original vision for the book."

A long time in coming, the 2nd Edition is available now for the Kindle, and can be read on any device that runs the Kindle e-Reader app. Look for it on Amazon.com. A native edition for the iOS platform will be available in iBooks for Apple in 2015.
