That right there is my book in the windows of the Barnes and Noble on some street or another in New York City (author's note: geography isn't really my strong suit).
This is especially cool for a couple of reasons:
1. That ghostly image in the window is none other than my editor, Jen Besser (author's note: Jen is awesome. I'll explore this a bit more fully in another blog post. Or maybe we could do an interview or something. Or a podcast. I'm absolutely giddy about this).
2. It's always been my dream to get in a window display.
No joke. Like, when I was a kid, me and my buddy used to hang out in front of the display window in front of his mom's store and pretend we were mannequins.
Of course, having a chubby kid with a mullet posing in the storefront doesn't really help drum up much business. And yes, in case you were wondering, I was the chubby kid with the mullet.
The early nineties were a confusing time.
Moving on.
And that right there is the fabulous Kelly Polark of The Kelly Polark Blog (author's note: I think she still might be tinkering with the title) posing with her copy of Sophomore Undercover.
Now, I don't want to put any pressure on you guys, but should any of you feel like sending in a picture of yourselves with the book...well, that would just do wonders for my self esteem.
Plus, you'd get your picture posted right here on benjaminesch.com.
So, I think that works out pretty well for just about everyone.
I mean, Frank Portman's readers are doing it. Just throwing that out there.
