Thx Monika – I’m doing my best, but the real challenge is going to be promoting to non-blog followers. I am rather “preaching to the converted” here! 🙂
Ah but the problem is letting “they” know that the book even exists! I can take a hands-on approach around here, but the US? Europe? UK? India? Friesen Press are going to guide me through the process so it will no doubt be very interesting. 🙂
Hi Lexi. I don’t think I’ll ever figure them out! They do so many really odd things that make no sense to me… but Dad says I can’t say anymore ‘cos it’s in my book! Woof! Ray.
It brought a smile to my face as I read this excerpt because all I’m hearing on the tv right now is the political news here in the US. I’m looking forward to your book.
Yes… based on the US news currently, his book is more interesting; more educational; easier to follow; is polite but to the point; has a legitimate hero in it; has a reason for existence other than self admiration, and poses no threat to peace either within the US or to the world in general. I think that you will like it! 🙂
Thx Phoebe. While Ray’s story does have many humorous aspects, my critics told me that they also experienced emotions at the “other end of the spectrum”. I think you’ll find it really interesting. 🙂
Ah yes, shameless plugging is absolutely essential. Don’t forget TV and local radio of course. And book signings. I envisage nice queues and paw prints.
Love these tantalize-ments about the book. Great promo job, Colin. 🙂

He will play, but only when he wants to. What we want is irrelevant! 🙂

So Ray, have you figured out their game yet? I sometimes play to keep my Mom happy. I always let her get the ball on the last throw, though.

How exciting to think book signing with paw prints. I don’t think Ray would want his paws in any ink.

He wouldn’t… and I wouldn’t force the issue! Book signings will only be done by the author. 🙂
