Today’s The Big Day – The Official Release Of ‘A Big Little Life’

Posted on | August 25, 2009 | No Comments

Not much to say that I haven’t already said here and here, other than one BIG thing: it’s been announced since I wrote those posts that all the proceeds from the book will go to Canine Companions for Independence. I was out in Oceanside, CA over the weekend for the CCI Southwest Regional Center graduation when that was announced, and it went over big, as you’d expect.

I’m not a fan of celebrity endorsements (and I really don’t think that’s even the correct term here), but I just don’t see how you can do better than Dean Koontz. He “puts his money where his mouth is” (last number I saw was $5.5 million and who knows how much this book will generate), isn’t out fronting any controversial causes, you don’t read about him out getting in trouble, and so on (now I’ve probably jinxed him). I suppose some people wanna fault him for that big house he lives in, but, sheesh, if that’s the biggest thing you can come up with, well, good luck…

I will add one last thing. As I’ve said repeatedly, this is the dog book of the year, will go to #1, and will be around a long time as people continue to discover it. It’s gonna be HUGE.
