WHY RHODE ISLAND MATTERS!

Greetings-

You'll be hearing about this book title---WHY RHODE ISLAND MATTERS!---in the next few days and over the next few months.

It's my new book, published by Shoreline Press and developed with editor Ken Proudfoot.

It was written to remind ALL Rhode Islanders why our state has been a leader in so many areas and why it can be again.

As a native Rhode Islander, I have always been excited and impressed by my state---its natural beauty, its history, its vision in the fields of industry, art and innovation, and most of all, by its people and the families they are part of. I wanted to tell some of the Rhode Island stories and share them with everyone.

WHY RHODE ISLAND MATTERS! will be released on August 25th.

The first limited signed and numbered edition of 500 copies of the book is being sold on a first come, first served basis at $10 per book (includes postage and handling to your home) and can be ordered direct by clicking on the BUY NOW button above my photo to the right of this blog or by sending your address and a check or money order for $10.00 to:

Shoreline Press
P.O. Box 555
Jamestown, RI 02835

All of the proceeds from the first edition will help provide free educational workshops on the subject of this book to students in middle and high schools around Rhode Island.

You'll want your own copy of this first edition book for yourself, your family, and your grandchildren.

Order a few copies for your friends in Florida and Arizona too.

If you'd like a copy, please order it today---the publisher believes that all of the copies will be gone within the next 25 days. They are processing a number of pre-orders already and more are coming in. It will be shipped to your home or office on August 25th.

Stay tuned for a list of presentations, talks and readings I'll be making about the book at venues statewide over the next 6-8 weeks.
