My husband's next book, KINGS OF THE EARTH, was picked by Oprah for her summer reading list! It's in the July issue of O magazine. I'm sorry if this is too braggy, but I'm so excited my head's about to explode!

Book's out July 6.

Thanks, everyone! It's amazing the power that Oprah has. Even my mom is impressed, which is pretty unusual.

Book launched yesterday, and the tour starts Friday, with quite a few northeast dates. Go here for the schedule. First stop is Northshire Books in Manchester, VT. Be great if some AZer's could come! I'll be there!

You can read an excerpt of the book here. Hope you enjoy it!
