I forgot to mention this when my galleys arrived. If you are a member of the press and interested in doing a feature or review, please e-mail me and I'd be happy to have a copy sent to you post haste. Just be sure to include your name, address and phone number, and affiliation.
I'm now into the next phase of book activity, publicity, which to me is even more exciting than anything else so far. Writing is a solitary pursuit, even when it involves a subject as light as weddings, so focusing on press and marketing should represent a real change in how I think about the book. No longer will I be thinking about selling my writing; I'll also have to start thinking about selling myself! I'm meeting with my publicist (which along with phrases like "my wife" and "my agent" are still weird to me) tomorrow to discuss our plans for January and beyond.

Good luck with the media invasion!
