+## Hiatus Writing Book
+
+I’m writing a book for PragProg called Building Distributed Services with Go. [You can sign up on this mailing list and get updated when the book’s available.](http://eepurl.com/dC5-l1) It walks you through building a distributed commit log from scratch. I hope it will help Jocko contributors and people who want to work on distributed services.
