A Little Bit Here, A Little Bit There

If you were reading the Huffington Post last night, you might have seen one of my posts up there on their “Politics” page. Of course, if you missed it, I wouldn’t blame you. (I’ve created a page for it at the right.) Since I’m not starring in a cable series, and my Q rating is not what it should be, my posts are last-in-first-out as others are submitted. Hard to amass a huge following there, which is the reason for doing it. Well, not a “huge” following, but I’m trying to get some bump that will help Recut Madness along. Six hours up on HuffPo, effectively buried in the Home and Garden section, won’t really do much.

But I press on, because what else is there to do? It has proven a challenge to get PR and press for the book. We’re still trying, and have a few new ideas that will be implemented soon. But we need to give this thing a boost so we can make it to the fall and take advantage of the Christmas buying season. If you’ve read Recut Madness and liked it, ask Barnes and Noble the next time you’re there to order a couple copies for the store. They don’t take your phone number, and it costs nothing, and it will get copies on the shelf for me. Also, it ain’t like I’m begging, but — BRANDEN! Are you listening? ——— it sure would be nice to get a review on Amazon, one that seems very independent and shows no hints that you are a friend or relative of mine. Every little bit helps, and I’m grateful for your support.

On the other hand, BARDBALL is enjoying some nice attention from real baseball fans out there. Just my luck that the project I’m doing for fun is performing better than the project that’s for money, but hey, I live for irony. We’ve got a backlog of poems already, and have stopped doing any guerrilla marketing for a while. It’s going to be very interesting to see where BARDBALL is by the end of the season, but I’m certain we’ll have enough material for a book.
