    I'm aflutter over the prospects of a book on the 2010 Tar Heels' inspirational run to the NIT championship game.

    Be hilarious if Bobby Frasor turns out to be her recent stalker.

    Dan just won an APSE first-place award for a feature on former Clemson basketball Terrell McIntyre (who's about 5-foot-9) finding his niche in Italy and winning league MVP honors over there. I seriously doubt he'd write a suck-up piece simply to appeal to Heels fans. Shilling isn't his style.

    Yeah, that sounds about right.

    I'm with ya here -- plugging a book is hard work (I've had three novels published). Any pub is good, especially if you are a non-celeb in this racket.

    Have good sales, Dan! Work the circuit of North Carolina, every book store, every radio program you can find!

    According to B&N, the publisher is iUniverse, which means it's a self-published book, right?

    If so, I'm wondering (a) why an award-winning author went that route (b) who does the editing and (c) do you get any help with marketing the book or do you have to generate your own sales?

    That's okay. The Nats will still win it before the Cubs do.
