Special Weekend Promotion

By on Nov 8, 2013 in Blog

This weekend is the annual science-fiction convention Philcon, where I will once more be a panelist. As a special promotion, the Kindle version of my essays book, The Art of Life, is free today through Tuesday, November 12.

If you haven’t already read it, stop by and pick up a copy. Then tell your friends. I’d like to introduce as many people as possible to the book this weekend. I’m proud of this collection, but since I put it out the same year as giving birth to my unfailingly energetic son, I have had difficulty finding the time to promote it.

I guarantee that if you read it, you’ll find something that makes you smile, laugh, ponder and want to read it aloud to your human (and canine) companions. Among the topics I address: women’s self-esteem and the mythos of Marilyn Monroe; the conspiracy of giant roadside cows; and the secret aesthetic of dogs. Culled from over ten years of newspaper columns and online writings, The Art of Life examines the beauty and humor of our existence on this blue marble.

One last thing… if you do read the book, I’d appreciate you writing a quick review on Amazon, Goodreads and any other book review site. Consider it your way of paying me back for the free read!
