Facebook: YOU CAN STILL GET A SIGNED #TheFirstPhoneCallfromHeaven FOR THE HOLIDAYS! So man...

YOU CAN STILL GET A SIGNED #TheFirstPhoneCallfromHeaven FOR THE HOLIDAYS! So many of you have asked if I am coming to your part of the world for a book signing. Obviously, I can't be everywhere. But now, the nice people at Barnes & Noble in Royal Oak, MI have offered to take phone orders for personalized books for a limited time TOMORROW (DEC. 18) from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (EST). Call in your order at (248) 336-9490. I’ll sign all the books Wednesday after my public signing (which starts at 7:30 p.m. - gonna be a long night!) Books can then be picked up at the store or will be shipped out starting Thurs, 12/19, to anywhere in the world via UPS ground (hopefully arriving before Christmas, but it can't be 100% guaranteed.) Hey, it's the next best thing to saying hello personally! More details at mitchalbom.com

Friends, I hope you'll watch this updated teaser from The First Phone Call from Heaven that's currently playing in all Emagine movie theaters in Michigan. If you've read the novel, I wonder if you can now match the lines to their characters. If you haven't seen it yet, I hope you'll watch, and share it.

From the Detroit Free Press: Kick in the gut

You know that dream you have when you're on stage, in front of a huge crowd - in your underwear?


Welcome to Monday night at Ford Field, where the crowd was big, the TV audience bigger, and the home team belly flop was looking like the biggest of all. When you dream of the network cameras coming into your house, you don't dream they will be filming you falling down the steps.

The Latest From MitchAlbom.com: A Time to Help's Christmas Party

Adopting homeless children and their parents living in shelters for one day is one of Time to Help’s most cherished activities.  The residents of Denby Center  are enormously touched by the generosity of volunteers and sponsors.   Having a special party in their honor with tons of needed gifts, food, arts and crafts, games, Santa, and more is heart-warming for both residents and volunteers.  This year's party was held on Saturday, December 9.

JUST ADDED! GET "FIRST PHONE CALL" SIGNED FOR CHRISTMAS FROM COMFORT OF YOUR HOME! As it is snowing this weekend in Michigan, the nice folks at Barnes and Noble Northville (Haggerty Road) have made a generous offer. You can call their store anytime from now thru tomorrow afternoon, order the (discounted) book or books, leave the name you'd like me to personalize them to, and I will go by at 3 p.m. and stay until all books are done. You can pick yours up any time from tomorrow afternoon until Christmas. Or, they will ship it to you for normal shipping rates. Their number is 248-348-0696. This way, you can avoid the roads and still get your book shopping done! If you'd like to meet me or get books in person, I will be there at 3 p.m. Otherwise, hey, order take out! What could be better?
(Please note this event was not on the original schedule. The snow in Philadelphia has caused the postponement of Friday and Saturday's events there.)
See you in person- or through phone - on Saturday. All Sunday events remain intact! Thanks!
