Praise for If You Weren’t Here:
“I love that with all the work that I have read by Walter G. Meyer that IF YOU WEREN’T HERE THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING speaks to the heart and the lessons we can learn from just living life. It’s at times funny, other times reflective but each story takes us on an adventure that speaks to the importance of living and loving life.
What Meyer does so well is shows how a literal or figurative trip can teach us about the world and ourselves. There’s lots of great people in the world as well as great things. It’s up to us sometimes to discover it. I thought it was interesting that his travels or his time teaching Traffic School both introduced him to interesting individuals that he was able to share experiences and lessons with in some way.
Taking us through his adventures and lessons, IF YOU WEREN’T HERE THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING is the new book by Walter G. Meyer that speaks to the heart. I think after what we have seen in 2020 that is something we all should want to experience.

If You Weren’t Here, This Would Not Be Happening: plogs from my life came out of posts Walt wrote on Facebook each day during the Covid shutdown to entertain himself and his friends. Writing one story from his life each day, he recalled unusual incidents, moments of serendipity, and encounters with eccentric characters, then wrote a lengthy Facebook post telling the story of the day. Readers have been amused and sometimes shed tears over his intriguing tales, and some noted that they were a bit long for Facebook posts. Meyer decided to call the stories “plogs,” as they were posts bordering on blogs.
He recounts odd jobs he has worked, weird coincidences, and celebrity encounters along with stories of his travels and other adventures. The book has dozens of color photos to illustrate the plogs.
Walt is also the author of the Amazon-bestselling and award-winning novel Rounding Third.
