Don't Be Ned Ryerson

5/6/2024

 
Picture
I have an upcoming 55th High School Reunion.

Someone suggested I attend and set up a table hawking autographed copies of my books. I replied: I don't want to be Ned Ryerson.

Remember Ned from movie Groundhog Day? As Bill Murray's character experienced the same day over and over, his high school classmate and now life insurance salesman Ned Ryerson gave him the high pressure sales pitch every day.

As it is, enough people are avoiding me already! So this week, no high pressure. Consider this website a virtual book store with a limited number of titles for sale. Feel free to browse, with no one looking over your shoulder. At least I know there won't be any shoplifting.

Next week: back to normal.

As Ned Ryerson would say: Am I right? Bing! Or am I right? BING!!!

I still like the idea of you setting a table and hawking your wonderful books. After all, you'll have a captive audience. Can't go wrong.
