Two contests

I must have an ego the size of a walnut. In the interest of expanding it to peach-size, I have entered two popularity contests.

In my quest to enjoy a vacation of hard labor in Brazil, I began in 47th place (out of 70 contestants) and have worked my way up to 22nd. Go friends and family who vote for me daily!!!!

My novel ANIMAL CRACKER now appears on authonomy.com. I began life there at 3700 and I'm now up to 1100. If I reach the top, Harper Collins, which owns the site, will take a look. So, if you care to drop in on the authonomy site and see a very different version of my prose style, feel free.

SEND ME TO BRAZIL!

I have applied for a scholarship to win a volunteer vacation to Salvador, Brazil. And you can help. Please watch my video and vote for me. It's easy to forward to friends, and - yes, it's true - you can vote daily. The more votes I get, the better my chances of winning.

Thanks for your help!
