About That Book...

You may remember a post back in late January where I let slip that your host was embarked upon his first book - that posts in these parts would be rather thin for a period of months. Well, that didn't work out. The titanic primary race intervened and I felt compelled to follow its course in public. Nevertheless - he begins with a triumphant pause - the writing proceeded in frenzied weekend bursts, hour upon long hour, and so this week, I turned in the first draft of my manuscript for CauseWired: Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World, to be published this fall by John Wiley & Sons. Despite the short time frame, I'm moderately pleased with it, although with a topic like this one, the reporting is never done; the online social activism sector advances every day. I have also restarted the book's blog over at CauseWired.com and  urge you to add it your various feed readers, blog rolls, email subscriptions, and online touring schedules. And, if you feel so inclined, you can pre-order a copy right now - this very moment! - from the comfort of our keyboard. Note: Clinton supporters get a 34% discount. Obamacans should buy two.
