Book Media
 
My book
is beginning to chalk up some media coverage,
so I am displaying that here, with most recent first.
|
Outsmart
Magazine gave me a nice surprise when writer Ryan Leach included
me in a list of things to "keep" in 2024...unusual
for them to mention a book, and with such good comments. See
entire article.

The
Diana's invited me to do a book reading and Q&A at their
Nov 15 meeting, and it went over Very well. I hope to have more
photos soon.

On 11/5
Book Club Houston invited me to for a reading and Q&A, and
I was very impressed. I had a great time and the 25+ members
seemed to as well...hey, it lasted five hours! Of course I read
the first Houston chapter, but added (hopefully humorous) side
comments not in the book.
That's host
for this month Jose Garcia, and I have a selection of photos
from various members at This
Link.
After the Q&A
we adjourned to the 4th floor that has a patio view from EADO
of the skyline, for the mandatory group pic.

Dallas
Voice Review, 10/27/23
Well, on September 24th I was interviewed on the radio by the
trio at Lambda Weekly Radio (KNON, Dallas) David Taffet, Lerone
Landis & Patti Fink) Scroll down for that.
And David, as he also writes for the Dallas Voice, went a step
further by writing a review there. This is important to me,
as my book has a lengthy chapter on Dallas, with lots of photos.
As this may be too small to read online, here's a PDF from that
Dallas Voice issue. READ

this
was fun...
I was invited by Kip Altstaetter to give
a talk at his home, for a very informal book club they call the
MOD Men, Men of Design, as they all work in that field. I read
from my book's Houston chapter, followed by a Q&A. This was
interesting for me as in the group of about 25 I did not know
anyone, so I got to meet lots of nice people.
And I even sold a few books...:) |

Yay! On 8/10/23
I was on the podcast of Dennis Hensley, called "Dennis Anyone"
(Los Angeles) and this was about the most fun I've ever had doing
an interview. Well, we've known each other for about |
| 20
years and already had great rapport. He's a Terrific interviewer
(and researcher) and came up with great questions. He actually
read the book, and paid attention. It sounds like this was just
listening to two friends talking, cause that's what it was. And
we packed it into just 58 minutes...yeah, I know we can talk!
And, Yes, we talk about that open bottom button on those 501 jeans.
Check
it out! |

You, OutSmart Magazine and journalist supreme Andrew Edmonson
