Just thought I'd add a note about the other book proposed. I haven't read Owen's book yet, but I've had people ask me at book signings what I think of the situation. I really don't have an opinion. I can only speak from my own experience and journey with my father. He too, was sworn to secrecy. He k...

It just came out and is getting a lot of nice reviews and positive...

Well, that sounds a little depressing. But you never know what connections you've made. Any one of the people you talked to could go tell someone else who is in a position to help promote your book in some way. So, you can't always judge the success of an event by book sales.
