See you next Monday with more book marketing tips!

I'm the road this weekend!
And while our house is Steeler Country, I am REALLY pulling for the Saints to go all the way. (If they have to play the Steelers, well, then they will have to lose.) But at the moment, no one can beat them - not even the Colts!
Saints are great this year- by my Colts have been finding a way to win, even beat up with injuries. The only way the Saints-Colts debate will be settled is if one team falters this season or if they meet each other in the Super Bowl (the only way their schedule will bring them together). I love my Colts, think they will continue to win, but I have tremendous respect for the Saints as well-- But I still think the Colts would edge the Saints if they met in the regular season ;)
