Amazon announced the sequel to author Richard Bach's "Illusions" is now available exclusively as Kindle Singles.

Author Richard Bach became a best-selling novelist with books like "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "Illusions". He has now released a sequel to "Illusions" - his 1977 best seller which has been titled "Illusions - II" and available exclusively as Kindle Singles.

Kindle Singles are typically between 5,000 and 30,000 words, and include memoir, reporting, fiction and essays that represent compelling ideas expressed at their natural length. In January this year, it celebrated its third anniversary, boasting titles of works from Stephen King, Christopher Hitchens, Susan Orlean and Nelson DeMille.

"It's a thrill to have a writer of Richard's influence publish his work as a Single," said David Blum, editor of Kindle Singles in a press statement. "Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions were iconic books that touched millions of readers. This new Single marks the return of an important American voice."

"I never planned to write a follow-up to Illusions," said Richard Bach. "But after I was very nearly destroyed in an accident aboard my seaplane, I wondered if it were not an accident at all, but a test. Kindle Singles gave me the opportunity to share my story immediately."

According to the statement the new book is a chronicle of the author's meetings with spirit guides after his near-death experience from a seaplane crash and a year spent rebuilding himself and his plane. His memoir is a remarkable account of lessons learned from friends and loved ones.

Bach writes, "There's no blessing that can't be a disaster, and no disaster that can't be a blessing."
