I loved your book, and I encourage everyone to read it. "Bringing Home the Birkin," in addition to having a clever title, is a wonderful read.I reviewed it for Gather.com, if you would like to read more glowing praise. Are you getting close to the paperback release date? Hopefully that will draw more folks to the book, too.

Hello Michael,Thanks for adding me as a friend. Good luck with the book and the signings/discussions coming up.

Thanks so much for the invitation. Your travels and career sound fascinating. I still remember with a smile my son's one and only call home when he was on a People-to-People student trip in Europe--he called to say Barcelona is the best city in the world.I wish you the best with your writing and book touring!
Hello Michael,Wow, living in Barcelona must seem a world away from Brockton, MA!
Thanks for the invite!

Hola, Goodreads amigo. Encantada. Lucky you to live in Barcelona. How do the Barcelenos celebrate Valentine's Day?









































































It's sound very interesting to travel the world as a makeup artist and hairdresser, your history is attractive, Michael!
I believe that your 2 cats, surely have awemest hair style;
but anyway I've just watched the T.V news yesterday, about how chinese people do to their dog, if you have time to check the chinese trend today, you will feel wonder and perhaps terrible to see a lot of chinese's dog which be dyed their hair as a rainbow ball [and many times is as a Panda!:]
Anyway, thinking in the opposite way, to have a dog and a panda in the same time [also, it's in the same dog's body,too:] may be is great for the Sufficient Economic Idea.
Beautiful Regards,
:D
