HI, so sorry I missed the chat. I have been working so hard on promoting the book, I spaced the chat (that and a son with a chipped tooth).

And that people come to the chat today at 4 pm in Collins nonfiction. SOmeone from there needs to put up a link that works in my review. Yours didn't come through either. It is hard to do links here sometimes.

Ed -
Here's what I added to my review comments, after you so graciously chimed in (where DO you find the time?) :

My response was: ." You deserve tons of credit for getting buzz in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, interviews on NPR and elsewhere. I hope people check out the links at http://www.edwardugel.com/ and catch the review links and chats while they can. They are free and worth the time :)"

I should have noted that you also deserve credit for writing such an engaging book but I'm hoping the review makes that point clear.

Here's hoping your book stays at the top of the NY TImes bestseller list for....years !
