I have never been more proud of anything in my life. (Full disclosure: I don't have any kids, so that pride comment contains far more truth than hyperbole.)
The book has already been extremely well-reviewed, and the publicity efforts are going stupendously—I am a one-man book factory over here; the surly women at the Post Office collectively grimace when I walk through the door with another clutch of outgoing media mail—and right now it's occurring to me that I am writing this post as a sort of self-congratulations.
I did it.
But it wasn't all me, and I would like to formally and publicly thank the following people for their invaluable contributions to the crafting of my beloved book: Mike Squires (soldier/scholar), Joe Donatelli (journalist/humorist), Stan Malihee (screenwriter/filmmaker), Sarah Minto (housewife/political activist), and Johnny Savage (illiterate/lawyer, haha).
They all read the first draft of the book and provided me with their enormously useful outside perspectives. I am truly lucky to be friends with such intelligent and wisdom-generous people.
So if you're seeing these words, and if you like making good people happy, check out my book to see more of what has already brought me such happiness—a book that has been reviewed and vouched for by wisdom-generous people!
