The blog book is here!!

How can you tell you're a writer? If, like me, you open your junk email page and find a subject heading that reads, "PERMANENT LARGE SIZE PEN..." with the end of the word cut off, and you think wow, I wonder how big that pen is, you know you're a writer.

You also know you're a hapless member of the literati if you read about a new porn website and can't wait to get home to check it out. I did, today, and it made my heart race with lust. Check it out: www.bookshelfporn.com. Mmmm. I've never seen anything as desire-inducing as what's on those pages. Stacked. Tall and loaded. And some so well hung ... on the wall.

And finally, it helps that writerly feeling if you can hold a brand new book with your name on it. My blog book arrived today!!! It's beautiful! I will take and upload a picture of my new baby so you can see it too.

This amazing and wonderful book, 212 pages of deliciousness, is available for $20 plus postage - I'll have to figure out what that is but not much - from the writer. Who is moi. It's got lots of practical and inspirational stuff about the journey and business of writing, including quotes from Wayson Choy. The rest, for better or worse, is the writer, moi, and her epic life, with pictures. On Page 198, there's even some bookshelf porn. Yes, all this for $20! Special deal: buy two for your friends, and get 3 for $54. A steal!

(Am I getting good at this marketing business? It's exhausting, all those exclamation marks.)

Get it while it's fresh and hot!!!! Okay, enough.

Please contact me here via this blog or better, via the email address on this website: beth@bethkaplan.ca. I'll put your book in the mail and wait for your big fat cheque.

And now, excuse me - I have to look for a PERMANENT LARGE SIZE PEN so I can sign it for you.
