True Story!
I recently got this email:
“Sadly, the Drake Equation was stolen from me. It was in my car when it was stolen. [The car was subsequently found, but the book was gone.] I hope the perps enjoy it! They also took a stuffed mountain goat.”(I mailed her a new copy.)

"KVIIIlyn"? I love it!
But then, my name is actually spelled "Ba3rt." (The 3 is silent.)

"Who's ready for the weekend? You are!"
"Sorry, son. You're not ready."
The Importance of Online Reviews
Children’s book author Bob Staake writes about the silliness of a 4-year-old going into a bookstore and paying $18.99 for a picture book. Only adults do that!
My readers are older. Even so, they’re usually too young to have online accounts where they can leave book reviews . . . book reviews that are crucial for getting the word out there.
So if you have any thoughts about The Drake Equation (or any books you’ve read!), I encourage you to put the word out!
And THANK YOU. I deeply appreciate it. :)

I can't vouch for this contest...
After all, the people running it think winning The Drake Equation is better than getting $100!

The best part of doing book giveaways?
Seeing them arrive at the other end. (Thanks, Mary!)
