With the help of ChatGPT I created a press release for my book signing event Saturday June 17th in Denver.

Podcast #2 and Reviews

Podcast #2  Leaving Cleveland
My amazing wife, Kate Siegrist, joins me at Barnes and Noble for the Leaving Cleveland book signing. I am excited to say Barnes and Noble invited me back in December.

I am so excited to present the second Podcast of Leaving Cleveland. Each time I create one, it gets a little better.

This week Kate Siegrist and I are reading from chapter 2, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. To set you up for this chapter, Sam reflects on the time he dropped acid with his sister in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, with Rachel while driving to NYC after getting a call from his sister, Rachel, to move in with her and pay half the rent. On his trip, he reluctantly picks up a woman who, by trade, is a prostitute and hitchhiking to get home. As she gets in the car, Sam realizes he made a mistake and wonders if he will be murdered.

Reviews! Reviews! Reviews!

I know more than 17 people have read my book; that is the number of ligament reviews posted on Amazon. So please, if you have read the book and enjoyed the read rate, review the book on Amazon.

  1. Why does this matter to the author?
  2. For three reasons:
    • It informs potential readers of the book’s content and helps them decide whether to purchase it.
    • If I have 25 or more 4-star reviews, I can reduce the price of the E-Book to $1.99. This will allow more people to read the book at a very affordable price.
  3. Finally, if the book becomes popular, there is a good chance a publisher will want to distribute the book. Leaving me more time to work on the next book. 🙂

If you are uncertain how to write a review on Amazon ( you can even do it anonymously), here is a ridiculous, short video on how to place a review on Amazon.

Here is the LINK. It will take you to YOUTUBE; the video is 1 minute and 47 seconds long.

If you go directly to Amazon and write that fantastic review, here is the link.

Thank you for your support and your feedback. Enjoy your 4th of July, and I look forward to sending out the next blog in a couple of weeks with Chapter 3.

Happy Reading and Travels
