Slow Day in Paris

Anybody want to buy a book? My kids are hungry, and frankly, so is Mrs. Author. 
Here’s the deal: book sales tank during the week of a holiday. I learned this the hard way with my first book. Sales were cruising along nicely until Christmas week, when they flatlined so hard I thought Amazon had just… forgotten I existed. I actually called them and asked if the store was broken. Turns out, no. People just stop buying books and start panic-shopping for whatever lights up or makes noise.

Also, some of you may be shocked by how much I've aged. It's the pressure combined with...well, that's not a photo of my good side.

Lately, I’ve been making the rounds on podcasts. I don’t post all of them because, honestly, some hosts are like “What Would Joe Rogan Do?” and drop so many F-bombs! They've got the swearing down, but they ain't Joe Rogan, and I'd be embarrassed to send out the podcasts. But here’s one I actually enjoyed—a lovely chat with a nice lady from Missouri:

Now, if you’re staring at your holiday shopping list wondering what to get the person who has everything (except good taste in books), grab them a copy—or five—of You Look Good For Your Age. Because who doesn’t want to feel simultaneously flattered and insulted this holiday season?
