A Little Pat on the Back

So, this blog is not about self-promotion - at least not in the sense of plugging my own book.

[Oh, you didn't know I had a book? Oh, yes, I have a book. It's called The Tao of Tango, and it's going to be discussed in a book club soon.]

Generally speaking, I think self-promotion is a little tacky. Except when really cool news surfaces....

I just found out that The Tao of Tango

[you know, my book, the one I wrote...]

is #5 (out of 100) on Amazon's dance book list!!!!

How cool is that?

And it would be even cooler if if got to be #1 :-)

[hint, hint]

Hi Johanna, when I first started tango and was searching for tango related books, The Tao of Tango was one the first books I purchased. I'm surprised that it's not #1. ; ) Congrats!

Wow! That is super cool! Congratulations.

And yes, Book Club will be starting up again as soon as the cold medicine wears off. ;-)

Let's see if that doesn't get you some more readers.

Thank you all. It's amazing, considering that I have done NO promotion on my poor child for many years. It's that word of mouth thing ..

Thank you Red shoes. Hope you stop by TBs book club when it's up and running :-)

Hi Johanna.
I am to blame for that, I'm afraid. And of course you don't self promote yourself, I bought after having discussions with you and I didn't even know it was you who wrote it.
My exams have passed so I might release the book from the locked drawer...
I'll try and contribute to the book club!

No problem, KR. Glad you stopped by and did some book shopping. Looking forward to your thoughts - once you've released the poor prisoner...
