Flattery will get you everywhere. I was Googling (has that made the dictionary yet? v. the act of searching for information on the website Google.com) Sand in My Bra today. Once I got past all the Written Road, BootsnAll related, and Amazon links…. there were all sorts of reviews that I didn’t know about. One […]

August SIMB Update
It's getting exciting over here in Sandville. Susan told me yesterday that Sand in My Bra will be translated in Thai and Dutch. The shipment from our third print run is back so we're stacked up on postcards and books for more media requests. Florida locals reported there was a review in the Orlando Sun […]

I'm not even going to try and tell you that I stopped at IN-N-OUT on the drive home to pass out Sand postcards. But I did stop. And I did pass out postcards. I stopped for an ice tea, and mostly out of habit. After living in Oregon, I can barely drive by an IN-N-OUT […]

My head is swirling with numbers, calculations, shoestrings, and cheap wheeling luggage. The only thing I can do is give it to you in a list. 1) I'm taking Sand on a 7 week cross country tour. The Travelers’ Tales August newsletter debuted this news in our e-mailing this morning. Our cities will include: Portland, […]

The radio show aired yesterday during afternoon drive time and both Christine and I were able to hear it. It went very well and we didn't think that she cut anything from the segment. It must've been about ten minutes long. I'm going to try and get the tape. I took it fairly easy yesterday […]

Yesterday was crazy busy. Every three hours seemed like a whole new day. I'm writing this Sunday morning Montreal time, and I will give you a few of our guerrila marketing highlights. * Placed postcards at some of the boutiques and bookstores on the very popular rue Saint Denis. * Put postcards in the bathrooms […]

I made it to Sarah's show, but sadly she the press sheet was wrong and she had gone up earlier, not near the end. No matter, I had her gift bag sent to her and walked up and introduced myself after the show. She seemed a bit overwhelmed and admitted to being distracted, but spared […]

Erik and I picked up my press pass at the Delta hotel where it seems several of the industry professionals have been set up. Unfortunately I don't have an eye for celebs, so I have no idea who we saw coming in and out of the building while we were there. Various media were also […]
