This must be the 21st century. I did a TV interview with an out-of-town station via Skype this past week. You know, Skype, the Internet-based webcam connection where you’re talking to somebody somewhere else through your computer. Hannah McNeff, the morning anchor with KHQA did a terrific job and the technology worked well. It was a fun interview since that area has strong ties to the POW story. There were camps located in Hannibal and […]

So I sold a book yesterday at the terrific event at the Book House on Manchester. It went to a postal carrier who stopped by to deliver the mail while the event was going on. She said she bought it not because of the book itself, but rather, because I am “good looking.” I did not consider this as an aspect of my marketing strategy, but if that’s what it takes, I’m guess I’m okay with it. In […]
