I\u2019m putting the finishing touches on my latest book\u2014on public speaking for authors (Allworth Press). I\u2019m in week 8 of the research, interviews and writing. My deadline is in 2 \u00bd weeks. I actually hope to finish the fine-tuning this week. I have a new book to promote, after all.

\nPublish Your Book, Proven Strategies and Resources for the Enterprising Author<\/em> (Allworth Press) debuted last month and I haven\u2019t even had an opportunity to spread the word. I have a large database of client, customer, etc. names and scads of ideas for promotion. But all of my time right now is taken up by the book in progress. <\/p>\n
