An early birthday present came delivered to me on Monday in the guise of Doug, a history-loving book sales rep from South Carolina: my first book is now in actual stores, in the actual town where I live, with my actual name on the front!
This one writer's beginning is kicking it up a notch. And on Monday this one writer was found masquerading as a photojournalism student on the sidewalks of downtown Bowling Green:
Thanks to Barbara Stewart Interiors for stocking "the book," for taking orders for "the book," and for in all ways supporting "the book." (Should be in most area retailers--large and small--by the end of the week.)
As if that wasn't birthday gift enough (the gift that keeps on giving--one's name on a book cover!), the end of this extraordinary day found this one writer across the microphone from the most estimable (and remarkably smooth) Chad Young in the studio at WKCT-930 AM for an interview.
Wow! Expert, exemplary music choices for segment intros, fascinating archival recordings of a remarkable March 1960 day that is captured in the book, call-ins from listeners with their own stories to share, and great conversation with Chad, the Man (click on the Talk Radio podcast at right and take a listen).
Blow out the candles and cut the cake--one very big, 49-year old wish has done been granted.
