It’s not all the way super exciting in that I won’t be
reading at one of the bookstore venues. So don’t rush to buy those plane
tickets and make your hotel reservations. Save that for the seats to the
Broadway musical which I am sure will come along any day now. Admit it, I’m at least as singable as Dr. Seuss.
Spell check informs
me singable is not a word. Spell check has obviously not heard my morning songs
to the dogs. I am every bit as singable as Sondheim.
But I digress.
I will be doing a minimum of four classroom visits over 2-3
days. Possibly more, and the book will be on the website and available at all
venues in Charlottesville. Which will be lovely. I am also trying to get my
publisher to take a table at the Saturday publishing venue in the Omni. Feel
free to hound and harass them to do so. marinermedia.com
Of course he could also be persuaded by book sales.
Apparently, (astoundingly enough) not all of you have purchased this book yet. Now, you may be
thinking, “But Margo, I don’t have a small child 2-10 to give this book to.” Or
even, “To whom to give this book,” because I know some of my friends are grammar
control freaks.
And I will grant you, it is a pricy paperback to buy just
because you adore me. Although that is certainly a fine reason in and of
itself. (Yes, grammar check, I know that is a sentence fragment. After all these years of typing together,you don't know me well enough not to bother pointing
those out? I am deeply hurt, spell check)
But really, have you checked out the E-book price? 3.99!
Less that a double skinny mochachino or whatever it is you drink with all the
foam on top. I see you, frothy drink
buyers-
So go buy the book. If you have prime on amazon it’s
practically free. Maybe it is free. I don’t usually buy my own E-books.
Buy the book. Send Margo to camp.
Oh, wait. That’s a different
campaign.
Anyway, go buy it. If you don’t like it tell me and I will
refund the purchase price and send Vinny over to erase it from your mind.
We thank you for your support.
By the way, Calvin never did come through. Will trade books for venison.
