Hey readers,
I think I mentioned that I'm up in my home town of Sonora doing some promotional type stuff for the book release party on Saturday.
So far, the promotional type stuff has been a three pronged attack:
The Three Prongs of the Publicity Attack:
1. My parents call their friends and tell them to buy my book (author's note: so far, this has by far been the sharpest of the prongs).
2. School visits (author's note: and as of yet, none of the kids have made fun of my sweaters. And that has been an unexpected, and pleasant surprise).
3. Local media.
Sonora is a pretty small town, so there's not a whole lot of media. But what our media lacks in numbers they make up for in for sheer ferocity and hard hittingness.
As an example, I would like to direct your attention to an article that was written about me in the Sierra Mountain Times. The article is here.
A couple of notes about the article:
1. This thing is LONG. Like, get an extra cup of tea and make sure you're sitting somewhere comfortable type long. If you're interested in me, this is quite possibly a good thing. If you're not interested in me...well, then you're probably on the wrong website.
2. I used to play basketball in elementary school against the guy who wrote this article. And I think that's neat.
3. The Sierra Mountain Times is a really cool newspaper, and I think they did a great job with the story. And that's not just because they were writing about me...well, maybe it's a little bit about that. Either way, you should check out the article.

ben, that article is really long. i really thought you did a good job posing for the pictures. my favorite picture was the one of you looking up while reading the book. I also liked the picture of you in front of the steps and the one of you in front of the trees. great article!

For what it's worth, my mom requested that I pass along my copy of SU when I finished it because she reads my blog and, of course, just had to read it after reading my review.
