We've been enjoying our book tour around America these last few days, connecting personally with the many listeners of the late great Paul Harvey -- and now readers of Good Day! Thank you for the many kind comments and encouraging words of affirmation. There is a vast reservoir of good will out there for the radio icon. It's a privilege to tap into it and hear your many wonderful stories and memories.
I hope you'll tune in to the Focus on the Family broadcast with Dr. James Dobson for the second part of a two-part discussion about Good Day! The Paul Harvey Story. You can listen online:
http://listen.family.org/daily/A000002007.cfm
Also, we're excited to talk with Steffan Tubbs and April Zesbaugh on the 50,000 watt Blowtorch of the West -- 850 KOA's Colorado's Morning News. Later on we'll be visiting with The Bill Handel Show and The Roe Conn Show.
Colorado friends might want to know we're looking forward to a talk and book signing at the Briargate Barnes and Noble, this coming Tuesday June 2nd at 7 PM. More details to follow!

The Audio Book Man
I'd like to introduce you to my new friend, Mr. Terry W. Lessig, otherwise known as "The Audio Book Man."
Terry, along with his devoted wife Bonnie, are currently headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. We met several weeks ago to record the audio version of Good Day! The Paul Harvey Story. What a great time we had over the course of three days inside a small sound booth. I had never recorded a book before; I was actually afraid my delivery might come across sounding something like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller, but just not nearly as funny. Thanks to Terry's guidance and counsel, I think we pulled it off.
You can judge for yourself by checking it out on iTunes.
An affable and easy going spirit, this good man knows his business! He was kind enough to share a terrific audio book he had previously produced. It's titled, "My First 100 Years" and was read by the author, 106 year old R. Waldo McBurney. If you'd like to inspired and entertained/enlightened, I'd highly recommend it.
You can check it and other titles out on Terry's website: www.audiobookman.com
This is a good man! Let's support and give thanks for his gifts and talents.
Tomorrow we'll be on The Bill Meyer Show at 10:10 AM EDT, Clash Radio at 11 AM EDT and Special Report with KNLS at 3:30 PM EDT.
We're just getting started. We had some exciting news today about some national television and radio appearances materializing in the coming days. Word is beginning to get out.
Thank you one and all.

Game Time
Today was a glorious May day in Colorado Springs. The sun never left, the air stayed warm [80 degrees] and the wind never arrived. Just magnificent. After church we headed out with Riley to take in a game between the Colorado Sky Sox [AAA] and the Omaha Royals. The home team got clobbered, but we delighted in watching our son run the bases following the contest. He loved it. We did too.
We're only a few hours away from the official launch of the book. I'll do my best to keep the media appearances/interviews updated here in the event you're able to tune in and take a listen to an on-air discussion. I'm grateful for the interest in the project and especially the hospitality of those who have invited me on their great programs to talk about Good Day! The Paul Harvey Story.
We kick things off tonight [5/17] with an hour-long discussion on "The Source with Paul Anderson" at 7 PM MDT. Website: http://www.thesource.org/index.php
Tomorrow morning [Mon 5/18] I'll be joining Mancow on his nationally syndicated radio program at 7:10 AM MDT. Website: http://www.mancow.com/ . At 7:33 AM MDT I'll be with Lynne Wooley on the Lynn Wooley Show. Website: http://www.belogical.com/. Albracht in the AM follows at 8:40 AM MDT, the Bob Dutko Show at 11 AM MDT and the Marc Beanier Show at 2:20 PM.
Thanks for reading along and letting your friends know about the book.

Good News About Good Day!
Greetings, my friends. I'm grateful for your visit. Hope you'll make a habit of it. You're always welcome.
We're a few days [May 18th] away from the official launch of my new book, GOOD DAY! The Paul Harvey Story. It's been years in the making but the timing couldn't be any better. What a good time for an encouraging and inspirational story. As the weather warms and the trees bloom in all their glory, maybe you'll be looking for an uplifting read. Perhaps you'd like to lift a few spirits and pass along a book about one of America's good guys. Personally, I think it's the perfect book for the beach, pool, park or porch.
I was humbled when Paul Harvey once called me a "treasured friend" but now it's the thrill of my writing career to be the first [and only] author to tell his story. This title is the definitive biography on this giant gentleman of the airwaves. I've spent time with him, visited and walked the streets of his youth, interviewed friends and former colleagues and uncovered wildly fascinating facts about the man who sat behind his golden microphone for 76 years.
But this is not just Paul Harvey's story. The story of Paul Harvey is the story of America. Readers of Good Day! will be inspired, encouraged and convicted to embrace and recommit themselves to the American miracle.
The national media/publicity tour kicks off next week with appearances on shows all around the country. I can't wait to talk with you.
Due in tomorrow is a feature interview with well known and highly respected radio executive and writer Al Peterson in his publication, News Talk Radio Online. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you for reading along. Please help spread the good news about Good Day! The Paul Harvey Story.
