Peoria Journal Star article

The article in the Peoria Journal Star appeared today. The reporter did a really nice job, I think.

Here's a link to the article

The funny part is that I didn't know she would mention the Barnes and Noble signing thing -- I had only started talking with them, nothing definite yet. But when I called them this morning to tell them about the article -- they'd already seen it in the paper! So, we're working on ironing out the details for that. Perhaps it worked to my advantage to have it mentioned ahead of time.

But I'm actually really happy with the article and the way she used what I said. No more ice weaseling over this one : ) Thanks to my Mom and Dad who made the contact with the right people for this article. And to my sister, Susan, for handling the impromptu phone interview with good humor and grace.

Woohooo, my books for the launch party just arrived -- three boxes of them! Yea to UPS who managed to find our address. The other guys, who shall remain nameless (rhymes with Shmed-Ex), couldn't find our house last month! We do live out in the country, but come on. Those guys had a whole movie about getting packages to their destination, right? Tom Hanks was stranded on a desert island for two years and he still managed to get that package to the right place. Oh, well : )

Talk to you tomorrow!

I put this comment on LJ before I realized my mistake:

Shmed-Ex? Hmmm ... Shmed Ex .... was it DHL?
