The Blog Tour Continues…

With more incredible reviews from wonderful writers. If you want to check out what they have to say (and there’s a lot), check out BlogHer (Mir’s post) and The Queen of Spain (where forget about the review - she relays an incredible story about her own sex ed teacher!) .

The Book Tour Has Begun

A year ago at last summer’s BlogHer conference in San Jose, CA, I met a blogger by the name of Suzanne Reisman (CUSS and Other Rants and BlogHer). Needless to say, I was impressed by her work (and even more impressed by what she had to say in person). So I was beyond delighted when it turned out that she actually lived here in NYC. We have been keeping in touch, checking in on what one another has been up to (and BTW, I am not the only one with a book - hers is a travel guide about the strange and fabulous locales around NYC that you have never heard of), and when she said that she would like to interview me about Third Base... there was no way that I was going to say no. So if you want to check it out, go for it!

It’s Been an Odd Day

I wake up to my son yelling, "Happy Book Day" - I mean, how cute is that?

And then, I get email from the authors of some awesome blogs, CUSS and Other Rants, Queen of Spain, Woulda Coulda Shoulda, Formula Fed and Flexible Parenting, to say that they will be reviewing Third Base… in the next few days. The Virtual Blog Tour is about to begin.

Now, as I sit here working, I find it hysterical to note that I have gotten a very poor review from someone on Amazon. Hysterical, simply because the book only came out today (in some stores, it hasn’t even come out of their stock boxes) and this reader (who obviously read the entire book in the last five or so minutes) doesn’t exactly like it. Not that everyone will, of course. I just found it funny.

Meanwhile, as for Third Base Virtual Book Tour, the first two dates are in:

Friday, October 5th - CUSS and Other Rants & Queen of Spain 

Saturday, October 6th - BlogHer (courtesy of Mir at Woulda Coulda Shoulda)

The Big Day

Well, it’s here. Tomorrow is the pub date for my book. I have a lot of feelings - all of which I can’t really express. Though if I must say something, I am excited at the prospect of making a difference. It sounds like a pathetically lofty goal, but that’s really what this is all about. Getting people to look at sexuality differently. Getting parents to step up to the plate and change their game (these puns are ridiculous, right?). Press so far has been great. I appeared on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Friday and had two super segments (complete with Q and A from the audience) and Karen Springen at Newsweek was supportive, too. I definitely cannot complain. But starting tomorrow (unless you ordered your book on Barnes and Noble and received it early), I would love to hear your feedback. Does the book resonate with you? You’ll all get a chance to see what others have to say as this week (fingers crossed) will hopefully include the beginning of a Virtual Book Tour. There are some incredible bloggers that want to review the book. I, of course, will publicize it here and on my website.
