The Sophomore Undercover media blast part 1

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.
