And now a word from our sponsor....

I’ve been working on getting a book proposal together for awhile. The working title is Muslim Turkeys: How And Why Rational People Believe Irrational Things…and yes, there’s a story behind it. You’ll just have to wait for the book (How’s that for building anticipation, eh?). The working title will likely change by the time my heartbreaking work of staggering brilliance hits store shelves and Kindles from sea to shining sea. Let’s not put the cart ahead of the horse, though; there’s the tiny little matter of finding an agent and/or a publisher. Stay tuned….

In the realm of people who actually have done something of literary noteworthiness and value, Erin O’Brien has a book out, The Irish Hungarian Guide to the Domestic Arts. Erin and I have been mutual fans of each other’s blogs for years, and if I can turn out to be half the writer she is, I’ll be well on my way. I’m looking forward to reading her book, and you can pre-order it in paperback (only $14.00) from Amazon. So, come on…be a mensch; order her book and help support a gifted writer with a sardonic sense of humor and an appreciation for her hometown- Cleveland, Ohio. I can’t say that I share her love of Cleveland, having been there on far too many business trips (though the Holiday Inn off I-71 does serve some killer tiramisu), but Erin has an eye for the sort of detail that most of us would miss. It almost makes me want to give Cleveland another chance. Almost.

If you happen to find yourself in Cleveland on February 2nd, Erin will be launching The Irish Hungarian Guide to the Domestic Arts at the Local Girl Gallery in Lakewood, which, as suburbs of Cleveland go, isn’t such a bad place.

Oh, and if you’re curious, you can read a review of Erin’s book. Yes, Ms. O’Brien truly does kick ass. ;-)
