Bill Clinton is holding a book signing event at the Chappaqua Library tomorrow. What a coincidence! I am also holding a book signing at the Chappaqua Library, though mine won't be until March, when the book comes out. I'm going to give a talk and then have books available. Don't know what Bill's plans are, though I plan to stop by and see how it's done by the seasoned pros.
Someday I will have to write about my life with Bill. Back in the day, I interviewed him for the NYT about his life in Westchester. I also covered him when he moved here, and once I wrote a story about his heart procedure at the Westchester Medical Center and how he woke up asking for bacon. I've run into him in town - at Starbucks, in the dry cleaning parking lot and, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I even wrote an article once about Chappaqua Clinton sightings.
Well, it looks like our relationship is going to take a new turn, as we are both just a couple of authors shilling our books. Ooo- I just got a great idea. I'm going to take a copy of the "Mama's Boy Myth" galleys to the library and see if I can get them to him. I mention Clinton's relationship with his Mama in my book. Maybe I could get a blurb. It's a long shot, but an inspired publicity thought!
I think Bill Clinton should be bringing a copy of HIS book to your book-signing. He should be writing about a famous author named KATE STONE LOMBARDI and her new book coming out. He should write about running into you at Starbuck's. He should write about his life with Kate. This would all give him great publicity.
