The Eagle Has Landed!


Heard a knock at the door just a few minutes ago, and darn if it wasn't the Fed-Ex guy, delivering a copy of 50 Ways to Leave Your 40s to my doorstep! Across town, presumably, Peg is receiving a copy, too. Golly! We are published authors!

The book looks great, with "spot varnish" to give the cover image lots of shine. Amazon.com has been taking preorders since before Christmas --- at a third off the cover price, no less! Officially, the book's "pub date" -- which, despite the sound of it, is not a get-together for a drink -- is March 15. So beware the Ides of March, would'ja? If you don't find our book in your local bookstore by then, Peg and I would appreciate it very much if you would get all over their asses about ordering it --- in large quantity, por favor.

Cheerio!

Authors Interview with Pat McMahon

PAT'S LAST WORDS... Sadly (er, cheaply), when Peg and I ordered a copy of our appearance on the show, we opted for merely our "segment" -- as opposed to the whole show, or even the first half-hour. While this saved us all of ten bucks or something, it also, tragically, left off "the money quote" --- that is, what Mr. McMahon had to say when they got back from commercial. "Don't worry," he said. "The Loofah Lady is gone!" And indeed I was, along with my trustee sidekick and coauthor, Dr. Peg ---- off to tape another interview across town. (This was in Phoenix.) Let me see if we've got that one linked here -- it's called "Your Life: A to Z" ...
