The current media campaign has been quite successful. Many radio, television and magazine features to tell you about. Will share all the details shortly.

It’s 3:30 PM Pacific, 5:30 PM Central or 6:30 PM Eastern. Here’s the link:

National Media Campaign Begins This Week

I recently learned from publisher, iUniverse, that New York PR Firm, Smith Publicity, is spearheading a 6 week national media campaign around the new edition of my survival guide and cookbook. The focus will be upon assisting the “domestically challenged” with their cooking and housekeeping skills. They will also target the back to school market, especially those going off to college for the first time. Will let you know how this all develops!

By the way, my daughter and grandaughter are still using the book – so I guess that’s a good sign.
