Several weeks ago, my good Facebook friend, Gigi Estrella, aka Gigi Star, a radio personality who can be heard on 84.3iFM from Bacalod, Philippines, urged me to write a column for a local newspaper. Gigi can be heard at https://www.radionowonline.com/2018/04/listen-to-ifm-943-bacolod-video.html on Sunday mornings US time playing all the romantic oldies.
But, I digress. I agreed to write the column, thinking it would be no big deal. First one appeared on line, looked good, so I decided to do four a month, and sent them along to the editor. What I didn’t know until today is that my column had been promoted in advance, and was also appearing in the print version of the paper in a very prominent position. Good things come in bunches. Last month I had seven of my titles in Amazon’s Top 100 best selling westerns and now I can call myself a newspaper columnist with an international audience. On top of everything else, they also promoted three of my westerns in the second column.
Now, ain’t that something to crow about?
