Buy my book!

Hi everybody,

Just to warn you, this blog is pure and simple (and shameless) self promotion.

My Rough Guides book came out in February - I wrote the Introduction to the book and the Panama chapter in the Rough Guide to Central America on a Budget - so go to your favorite local bookstore or any of the online megamarts (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc...) and request that title! And buy one million copies! ;)

Actually, don't worry about buying in bulk, I don't see the royalties from that. However, I am a royaltied author on the Rough Guide to the USA, which comes out later this summer, so keep your eye out for that (and I'll send you a reminder).

And all you Cape Codians (and Cape Codians at heart) check out the front page of ESPN.com today (tax day, April 15th) - I've got an Old Man and the Sea kind of tale about a fisherman on Cape Cod that the front page editors picked up - it's at the bottom of the page in the "Inside ESPN" section, and it's been up for a while, so if it's not there by the time you get this, it'll still be up on ESPNOutdoors for quite a while - it's called "Fighting Giants".

OK, self promotion segment over... for now.
