Pick up USA Today, Wednesday (Nov. 22)!

[ski diva]

For anyone who's traveling on Wednesday -- and even if you're not -- be sure to pick up a copy of USA Today. Then go to the Book section. There may be some coverage of a promotion Random House is doing to the media (Esquire, GQ, Entertainment Weekly, etc.) to get them to cover Mr. Ski Diva's forthcoming book, Finn. This isn't a review -- it's too early for that, since the book doesn't come out til end of February -- but it's about how the book is generating buzz in the publishing world.

Can't say for sure it'll be in USA Today -- there are no guarantees -- but it'd be pretty cool if it was! So be sure to look for it!

It's in there! Cool!

I've never known anyone who got into USA Today before. Am I too easily impressed? ;)

I saw the write up on page 4D of the Life section! Fabulous! Diva, Dahling! Please pass my congratulations along with Phil's on to Jon.

We sure are proud of Mr. Diva (note tongue in cheek)!

It's even in the online edition. Congrats to Mr. Diva!! I want a signed copy now for sure. Maybe February in Toronto!!

 

[ski diva]

Absolutely, Jilly! He just told me you're on

It's a double bill with Jane Smiley in Toronto, by the way.

How amazing! wow - the very best of luck with it!

Hey, thanks all! We're pretty excited, so I appreciate your tolerating my constant and unbridled enthusiasm about it.

On one hand, I wish I could go to sleep and wake up and have it be Feb. 20 already (that's when the book comes out). On the other, I certainly don't want to wish away ski season! You see my quandry..... :o
