Now available! The Light of Alexandria by James Maynard

[Russell Kanning]

It's a history book written by a libertarian. History doesn't get much better than that.

If history is written by the victors .... then ...... yahoo!

Thanks, Cathleen..... I hope you enjoy it!

After we win back NH, maybe I'll write "How the American Revolution was Won... Again!" LOL

Do you plan on givin any lectures or anything at local libaries etc?  Might be a good way to boost book sales. And you can work the ole libertarian themes into your talks.

[jgmaynard]

Yes, Dreepa, I intend to do lots of book-signings and that sort of thing, give a lecture/book signing, etc.

I'll let you all know on here when they're coming!

I sent the press release about the release of the book out today through PR Web. It's pretty amazing. It's been on the wire for tweleve hours now, and it has already been read (mostly by media) 9.200 times and the article has been picked up by 206 outlets so far. It's also on ten channels of RSS feeds today and it's been sent out to probably thousands of other media outlets.  Holy mass distribution, Batman! 

You can read the article here

9.2 times?

Read it where?

[jgmaynard]

LOL. I should have typed 9,200 at that time. PRWeb is a newswire source (very large, very reputable), so read is by their customers (mostly media) read on their daily news page (by clicking on the individual story). There are other ways they are getting it out, but those aren't even included in that count.

Last count, it was ~12k reads of the story. 235 outlets have picked up the story.

Pretty amazing.

The story is supposed to be appearing Thurs in the Sentinel (books section) and there is a Monadnock Shopper article coming up as well, WKBK will be mentioning it, alll kindsa stuff......

If we want mass exposure for something, a company like PRWeb might do the trick. I would think any devious plan  of ours would be even more newsworthy than a new book. Would probably work even better.

Hey folks:

I cannot seem to get on my site with the usual URL, although I can do it through a proxy, so I'm wondering if it might just be a RoadRunner issue.....

Can anyone who does not have RoadRunner tell me if they can get there? Thanks!
