True story.For those who don't know, this is my fourth book, and after the first three I celebrated by opening a bottle of champagne. I'm not sure why, but this time I didn't ... until last night.
If you haven't noticed, the book has been a little slow getting to stores, primarily because the big database they use listed it as a January 2008 release. So none of them ordered it and the college football season is already beginning to wind down (hey stores, it's available and a perfect holiday gift!).
In order to end the jinx, some friends (Patrick, Carrie, Leah and Ian) helped me kill a bottle of Barefoot Bubbly before watching a movie. Sure enough, today I walked into a Barnes & Noble and there it was, the bright yellow cover I could see all the way across the room.
The champagne worked!
By the way Barefoot Wines, I'm available for endorsements.
Also, thank you Books A Million for updating your website and saying that the book is in stock. Much appreciated.
Although the 1966 Crimson Tide finished a perfect 11-0, neither the Associated Press nor the coaches’ poll awarded Alabama its third consecutive national title, instead ranking it behind both Notre Dame and Michigan State, which tied 10-10. Courtesy of the Paul W. Bryant Museum.
