Yeah, it is generally a red flag when we hear from the author him/herself, rather than the publisher or a hired publicist.
Hmmm. I'm in the position of having to contact reviewers and talk show hosts and whatever myself. Praeger press is not generous with review copies, or with putting time into publicity (even compared to normal publishers.) And they certainly don't pay enough for me to hire my own publicist. When I contact people to offer review copies (at my own expense) how do I explain this without badmouthing Praeger. This is actually normal for academic presses. It is just that I believe my book has some value to a non-academic audience.
Sean, what helped me quit, was vowing to only smoke after sex. (snerk)
Seriously, good luck with it! The fact you are disgusted by it is the first step. Nocitine is a tough nut to crack. You can do it!!!!

Wha, wha, WHA????

Oooh! Good idea, o_a! That just might work!
I hate it every time I light up. I hate the way I smell, and I hate the way my mouth tastes all the time. I'm still (and have been) trying to cut down as much as I can, and working towards not smoking any more.
Right there with you, Sean.
Paging Teppy - are there contraindications for taking Flexeril and Xanax (like, a quarter pill) together? And if I do that and then drink, am I risking a Heath Ledger?
omnis_audis, you've been COMMed. (Collateral COMMage to Sean and P-C.)
