Reviews From The Dad Side Says The Force is Strong With This One
Press Alert #1: Upcoming PR Stuff for 5/1 – 5/7
I’m going to try to do these regularly – weekly if warranted – so anyone who is interested can follow what’s happened with the book and where I’ll be popping up. Here are the press hits planned for next week as of right now:
Tuesday 5/4: The Absolutely Mindy Show on Sirius/XM’s Kids Place Live 1:00pm PT/4:00pm ET.
Wednesday 5/6: Lesser Nerds Podcast– not sure when released on the day.
Thursday 5/6: WTIC Talk Radio Hartford, CT morning show with Ray Dunaway, 5:20am PT/8:20am ET.
T-Minus 5 Days
I feel like we’re having another kid.
That’s what this sense of anticipation (equal parts excitement and dread) feels like. I suppose that’s a good thing, but it’s tough to sit through a day at work when we’re THIS close!
There are various PR things happening soon. I’ll be on the Lesser Nerds podcast on Monday, and may record something for the Mr. Dad podcast on Tuesday. The Times of London (OMG!) should be running something about the book in the next couple weeks, and book signings at my local Barnes & Noble and Borders are set up. I’m sure there will be more, especially after the book hits the shelves.
Perhaps coolest/geekiest over the last couple days is trading messages with Wil Wheaton, and having him tell me to send him a copy.
The book has been sitting in the 700-900 range on the Amazon.com sales rankings, and notice that Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca also have it reader to launch. I’ll have to check back in with Powells and see where it’s at there, too.
Also, my editor told me late last week that they’d upped the printing pre-release, which is really good.
I think my head is going to asplode…
AWESOME Review in Wired Magazine
This just rocks. And the illustration is wonderful, too!
