I completely forgot about this, but some months back someone suggested I create a fan-page for myself on Facebook. I did, then got embarrassed at having made my own fan page. I meant to delete it, but then completely forgot about it. Until today, that is, when I got a bazillion hits from those who had quietly become my fans.

Thus it is with flushed cheeks and averted gaze that I give you the link to become my Facebook fan. It's embarrassing to me, but it seems valuable. Meanwhile, let me say there are some cool photo albums and videos there, and a chance to chat with like-minded appreciators of THE MASTER OF VERONA – due out in paperback in only three weeks!

There. That plug wasn't embarrassing at all.
