As usual, the ADD/reading comprehension issues that explain my first-crack 479 on the SAT verbal handicapped me here: I missed that your wife is self-published.

That changes the game for me.  I am blessed with a great publisher (Hachette, formerly Warner/Tim Warner) and editor (Rick Wolff) and Hachette's publicists.  They have spared me from having to do any of the promotion that Rick and the staff know that I never do anyway.  And I first got published in 1997, which in media years was 75 years ago.

Not until 2011 did I even open a Twitter or Facebook account, and I went entire solistices without posting to either one.  Over the last six months, however, I have become a relentless poster on Facebook on subjects ranging from my tips for coaxing a child to sleep to Richard Sherman, Brian Job, the Golden Gloves, faux patriotism, Cathleen Caballero, my tongue-in-cheek bucket list and New Year's resolutions, Tiny Fey's itty bitty husband, and the most brilliant man that i have ever met (Stanford 1973 Rhodes Scholar John Tillman).  Not much mystery left but I don't care. 

My sense is that it's deepened the attachment of some of my distant quote, fans, end quote; I get a lot of playback from Europe, Asia, South African and Australia.  It also seems to connect me to some old high school and college friends back in the West.  And i have to say that it has deepened some friendships; people know me better.  I cannot imagine anyone hearing all of that and saying "I'll pass."  So I'd tell your wife, "Go."
