The Word is Out
News from Finding Uri - book signing too
Posted in Author Blog by Sandy Munro on June 11, 2011
A little news for the Finding Uri release — The first book signing event is Friday, June 17th at my old digs, which was once called “The Great Divide.” Now it’s “Two Old Hippies” and it will be fun for us to visit there. It begins at 4pm and goes until 5:30. C’mon down, to Monarch at Main, have few goodies with your wine, and visit.
The first seventy books have been sent out, and I’d like to thank those of you that ordered without the benefit of reader reviews. Granted the jacket blurbs are superlative. (We paid a lot of money to get those people to say those things.) Once you’ve read it, I hope you’ll comment here. We’re hoping to maintain a little discussion group as time goes on. In the PR realm, let’s just say that in the last week I’ve been learning about Skype interviews, written a blog essay for Bob Brody’s “LettersToMyKids.org”, and been a minor league interviewee on Erik Skarvan’s “Locals’ Show.”
Given the nature of the book, this is a pretty special Father’s Day for me, and I hope it is for you too. The two years I spent reading the letters, and writing about them, made me feel like a detective investigating my own emotions. Karen Chamberlain, my primary editor, told me that all family stories are important, and that they deserve to be told. This resonates more deeply with me now because I know, that by telling the stories, we make people live again.
