UPDATE: Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed on The Publicity Show. A weekly radio program that's broadcast out of Atlanta, Georgia, it's devoted to those "unsung professionals who usually spend their time in the background helping their clients get on the air."
Not only did the hosts, Elizabeth Gordon and Lee Kantor, want to know all about what Mere Words Media Relations has to offer, they were kind enough to let me talk about my book. To listen in, just click here.
Good to hear from you. I hope all is well with you. We just finished "The Deadbeat Poets" album today. It will be released in America in late June then in Japan in September. It was a lot of fun and turned out well. I'll send you a copy when it's released. How's the book going? Talk to you soon.
