Book Release

The official release date for Tales from a Dog Catcher is April 1st, 2009...available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon.com and wherever books are sold...not sure if that includes grocery stores, or those big box stores, or down the street at the pharmacy? Do they sell books at Panera Bread? That would be cool.

A publication date on April Fool's Day. Hmmm...what does that say about me? :)
