A Brief Dispatch

As the roll-out of The Butcher's Thumb continues, press interest is beginning to pick up.  A good example is this column from The Columbus Dispatch, written by veteran political writer Joe Hallett:


Haas, 54, who has advised mayors, governors and presidential candidates for more than 25 years, drew upon his experiences with campaigns and government officials to craft the novel. "You spend years writing these little 30-second TV spots, and you spend years yearning to really write something substantive," Haas said.

We're told a review of the novel is forthcoming in the Dispatch's pages, which is terrific news.  If you'd like to see your favorite newspaper or magazine review The Butcher's Thumb, let 'em know.

Of course, the novel is available on Amazon.com and iUniverse.com.  If you haven't picked up a copy, take a gander.  


Stay tuned for more publicity news; we've got some interesting opportunities in the pipeline.  Also, we're working on getting hard copies of the book into Columbus area Barnes and Noble stores; again, let 'em know you'd like to see the book on their shelves!
