Get Your Book Excerpts Right Here, Folks....

I spent some time updating this website today -- which meant that I also spent a fair bit of time hopping over to the website of one of my book publishers, looking for information on one of my forthcoming books (the totally -- and I mean totally -- revised and updated second US edition of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books, due out in June from Wiley). 

While I was on the Wiley website, I noticed that there were book excerpts available for a number of my backlist titles.

Hmmm, I thought to myself. Visitors to my website should have access to those book excerpts, too.

A few minutes of linking later and, voila, here they are.

As Wiley posts more book excerpts (and/or I find more book excerpt links online) I'll continue to add links to excerpts via my book page.

This batch of book excerpts should get you started in the meantime. 

• The Mother of All Toddler Books - Excerpt - US edition | Excerpt - Canadian edition
• The Mother of All Parenting Books - Excerpt - US edition | Excerpt - Canadian edition
• Sleep Solutions for Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler - Excerpt
• Mealtime Solutions for Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler - Excerpt
• The Mother of All Pregnancy Organizers - Excerpt
• Choosing Childcare for Dummies - Excerpt 

Note: If you enjoy these book excerpts, you might enjoy the article archives, too.

In other book news, Canadians might be interested to know that the completely revamped second edition of The Mother of All Baby Books will be published in Canada in October. I'm just going through author review (a.k.a. "speak now or forever hold your peace") on the book pages right now. 

The Mother of All Book Tours Heads to Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria

Western Canada, here I come. Or here I come next week, as I take The Mother of All Book Tours to Western Canada. I'll be promoting the second Canadian edition of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books (just published by Wiley Canada).

• I'll be in Calgary on Monday and Tuesday, doing media during the day and hosting a tweetup at Calgary's Higher Ground Cafe on Monday evening.
• Then, I'll be doing media in Vancouver on Wednesday and Thursday during the day and hosting a tweetup at Vancouver's Opus Hotel on Wednesday night. (Event just sold out.)
• On Friday, I'll be in Victoria, doing media in support of The Vancouver Island Baby Show. Then, I'll be at the show on Saturday and Sunday, speaking, signing books, and chatting with parents.

A note to members of the media: Alison Burke of Impressions PR is finalizing the details of my media schedule. Here's a copy of my media kit and details on how to contact Alison.
