Totally free, all postage paid! USA ONLY!
(This contest is on Facebook and WordPress, so there will be two winners.)Here’s the books to choose from:
1. “I Don’t Want to Be Like You” — My memoir growing up in the 1970s and dealing with bullies, and how they didn’t break me. Inspirational and honest.
2. “The Gypsy Smiled” — About a young woman trying to make it in the music business. The book was inspired by Lou Christie’s song “The Gypsy Cried.” Lots of kitschy fun — Elvis tribute artists, all-girl bands inspired by Tom Jones. Fun and silly.
3. “So, You Think You Know the Jersey Shore?” — A reference guide I put together about all the nooks and crannies of The Jersey Shore. What’s cool is that I took some of the photos for the book.Apple Records legend, Brute Force, reading my book, “I Don’t Want to Be Like You”
