D DAY

I have walked down the red carpet to the premier of films I have written (though to be honest it is more of a rush to go the first Saturday night and stand in the back of a real paying audience). I have sat with Exec Producers and the rest of the writers room chain smoking and power sipping red-eyes (that's a cup of coffee with an extra shot of espresso for added kick) watching the first episode of a series we've all sweated blood into for months finally get beamed straight into the living rooms of 20 million people at a clip then chewing our nails until the next days Nielson's came out. But for pure slow burn agony there is nothing like waiting for your book to actually get on the shelves. Our book was officially released yesterday, so this morning I stopped at the Barnes and Nobles on the West Side 78th Street. Imagine my feelings as I saw only one copy still left on the shelves! If you are looking later today, you will probably have to ask for it. It's Elements of Persuasion by Maxwell and Dickman. They can order you a copy pretty quick OR you can just click here to get it from Amazon. It's the cheapest way to get the book, so you were probably going to do that anyway.

Good Luck! I will be looking out for my copy in the mail and will likely be back around.
Having been a big fan of "Made to Stick", I've wanted to read more about the power of storytelling.
