Things Not on my Bucket List
GalleyCat just reported today that Lee Harvey Oswald's ex has written a book. Seriously. Why do we even care? Well, I'm sure the crazy Kennedy conspiracy theorists will love this, but I hope serious book buyers will stay away from this. I'm sure this book was...
Do. The. Work.
I was in Starbucks today, just waiting in line and this gal behind me struck up a conversation. She asked what I did, I told her that I'm a book publicist. Of course, she had written a book. So, she tells me that she's written a memoir, though, it's not really a...

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire
Today an author called me, said she'd spoken with a company that can guarantee 3,000 in book sales. Really? I never knew that was possible. Listen up folks, no one, and I repeat no one can guarantee book sales - ever. That's just the bottom line. My next favorite part...
