TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3317:

Tina and I have both been suffering from colds that we picked up during our Las Vegas Holidays Vacation.

So I just went to the Post Office yesterday to pick up the 'vacation hold' mail that had accumulated while we were gone. 

There was a large USPS mail tub full of mail for our PO Box and home address.  Lots of mail, including a brown box from Illinois. 

After arriving home, I opened the box and found that it contained my 'authors copies' of 'Gotham City 14 Miles (GC14M), 'my' new book! (Along with 13 other authors, LOL!)

Even though I had read a .pdf review copy for my two review blogs, Part 1 & Part 2, it was Great to finally hold a 'hard copy' of the book in my hands! This morning I still have the cold, and not feeling too well... But the arrival of my authors copies in the mail sure made my day yesterday!

I want to once again thank my Editor, Jim Beard, for asking me to join him and the 12 others in writing an essay for this book back in April of 2009.  It was a fun ride, and definitely a great experience in seeing this project of Jim's arrive in print yesterday!

YOU can order this new book and see what I, plus the thirteen other authors have written.  For those of YOU that did the pre-order with your LCBS, Wednesday January 5th should have been the date that the Diamond Distributors should have had the books to the comic shops.

For another source where to now order your copy of the book, please see the Facebook Fan Page - Gotham City 14 Miles - for more details!

I also want to thank my wife, Tina LoSasso, who proofed the essay before I submitted it to Jim for editing.  Her experience in the book publishing field proved to be very valuable in the long process of taking on the project, writing it, re-writing parts of it, and then waiting for it to be finally see print! Thanks Tina!

In closing today's blog... I want to again, extend Our Best Wishes to YOU, our blog readers, for the 2011 Year!
