Friends, as long as the subject is phone calls, would you like to get a live call from me? Record a 1 minute (or less) video review of The First Phone Call from Heaven, and you just might.

Hey, no writer is crazy about critics, but I love seeing reviews from fans and long-time readers. What you think is most important to me. I have been surprised and humbled to have already received a number of wonderful video reviews, three of which you can check out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihFWQ8RFsWk&list=PLzDsvqLz55ozAZ9xoIL6Y6K-w8DaDR4jd

These got all of us thinking…are there more out there? So we're inviting you to submit your video responses to #TheFirstPhoneCallfromHeaven. Be creative and have fun, but NO SPOILERS PLEASE! Load your video to youtube, and submit it to http://bit.ly/albomvideoreviews by 12/15. We'll approve and add them to the official playlist, and then you have two chances to win a call: People's choice (the most views and thumbs up) and the favorite chosen by my publisher.

On stage at Miami book fair, playing with a re-assembled @Rock Bottom Remainders, that's the great Roger McGuinn from the Byrds singing "Turn, Turn, Turn." Dave Barry next to me on guitar, Ridley Pearson on bass. And the view from my keyboard on stage in Miami. A blast!

Miracles happen all around us, every day, in all sizes, whether or not we choose to see them. I have been meeting many on the road who have had their own versions of a call from heaven.
