Lit Bit: Flightless Goose Goes to 30 Rock

The Flightless Goose is flying high ... figuratively speaking.

Watch The Today Show on NBC early next week and keep an eye out for the goose!

To promote our childrens' book, The Flightless Goose, my wife (the illustrator) and I (the author) are attempting to get onto The Today Show -- America's number one morning show.  we'll go to Rockefeller Plaza during the taping of the show with a handmade poster board announcing the publication of The Flightless Goose and launching the brand-new website.

We'll be in New York City all next week and hope to score a few seconds of air time for The Flightless Goose on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Flightless Goose is being published by Writers' Lair Books, an independent publishing house, this fall.

So stay tuned to the tube and watch for geese!  And stay tuned to the online pond at the link below.
