Here is part of the article from my local paper. (The part about me. :) ) It's hard to believe that such a long interview came down to three sentences. LOL. Oh well. They had a picture of my book, too.


Reading fun at the fair
Local authors to make state fair appearances

By Alison Brantley
Managing Editor

For most people, the State Fair brings thoughts of elephant ears, corn dogs and cotton candy. But for two local authors, it means getting the word out about their books and educating the public on the publishing process.

Cardinal Publishers Group is having its annual Author’s Showcase during the State Fair Aug. 10-21. More than 20 Indiana authors will appear.

Local resident Scott Carpenter, author of Mr. Undesirable, will make his State Fair debut on Thursday, Aug. 11, from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

According to Carpenter and the book’s Web site (www.mr-undesirable.com) ,the fictional book is based on Lenny Kapowski, who is a dirt-poor, foul-mouthed, porn-addicted, binge-drinking malcontent. Life has spent 15 years kicking Kapowski when he was down, and he has never done anything to change his lot. But, in one lucky moment, he wins a giant lottery jackpot and finally sees the path to his redemption. For Kapowski, redemption comes in the form of revenge on the man he blames for his life’s woes: Dr. Wayne Stevens.

“This is my first novel,” Carpenter said. “What I have found to be the hardest part about being self-published is getting the word out to let people know the book exists.

“That’s what I hope to accomplish by participating in the Author’s Showcase.”

You go right ahead. I have a very physical reaction everytime I see your AV. It's a true statement if ever I saw one.;)
 
Nice write-up, Boota.

Obviously it wasn't to Alison that you said:

". . . Lenny Kapowski. He's just a smaller nicer version of me." :eek:





Aren't you glad she doesn't do research with Google? :D
 
Thank you everyone! It's been pretty cool since yesterday when that paper came out. A lot of people around here have taken notice of the story and approached me about the book.

Virtual Burlesque, I said that exact same quote to the interviewer this time. She just chose not to use it. It's really true, so I'm not going to hide it. If I had Lenny's money I would have been much worse than Lenny was. LOL. I talked to her for between 10 and 15 minutes, but those three lines were the only ones she used from me. And I wasn't cussing or anything!

Dar, I'm flattered and I'm glad I can... help? :)

Dar, I have a pic of more of me in my profile. I don't have many others taken right now.

I'm starting to get some local attention for my book finally. That is pretty nice.

You were on Third Rock From the Sun, too? :D

;)
 
Well thank you, Dar. :) I've always kind of felt like a monster. That same AV on another site scares people. LOL.

CharleyH, I'd forgotten about that show. I used to really enjoy it. I could have played The Big Giant Head. Didn't William Shatner play The Big Giant Head in an episode?
