In The Event Of My Untimely Demise - Paperback Release

The paperback version of In the Event of My Untimely Demise also has a new cover design. The book is no longer red like a fire engine. It looks like a lockbox.

Fox & Friends Interview

Because of Tim Russert's untimely demise this interview was rescheduled for the weekend I was out of town - so I had to drive four hours back to the New York I'd just left, do the three-minute interview, and drive four more hours back whence I came. Fortunately Red Bull exists, even though no one knows the long-term effects of drinking Heart Attack In A Can.

Glenn Beck Appearance 04/24/08

Having a TV personality plug your book is an author's dream come true. Having him tell people to go to a library to read it? Not as much, but still it's mostly music to your ears.
