Every once in a while I like to browse around the Internet to see whether or not all this effort is at least getting dispersed, and every once in a while I learn something about that dispersal I didn't know.
I was aware that many of my GUNS Magazine articles are for sale at Amazon.com, even though it looks like no one is buying them--that's no surprise as I link to past columns at the magazine's site each month here for free.
Anyway, I just had a first. My name and work turned up in a place I had no idea they had wandered into: Larry Elder cited me in Showdown: Confronting Bias, Lies, and the Special Interests that Divide America. More specifically, he cited my KABA expose on actor Mark Wahlberg (be sure to visit the Pokey Poke Picture Gallery at the end).
"Yawn," you might say, but I've never been cited as a book source before, so to get endnoted by a nationally syndicated radio host, columnist and New York Times bestselling author is a big deal for me. Naturally, I had to run right out and buy a copy. (Writing isn't supposed to work this way. It's not supposed to cost me money.)
Still, I haven't felt this famous since some musically retarded college buddies and I appeared on Houlihan and Big Chuck's "New Talent Time" a lifetime ago...
