It’s hard to believe that it has been one year since the Summer Olympics began in Beijing, China — 08/08/08. Yes, 8 is considered a lucky number in China. And 8 was also lucky for Michael Phelps as he won 8 Gold Medals in the Olympics, beating Mark Spitz’s record for the most golds (7) in a single Olympics.
I am beginning the push to develop the promotional plans for a [hoped for] Spring 2010 launch of my latest book, Missa Brevis. It is a mystery novel set primarily in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico — one of my favorite places to vacation. I have received nice letters from both the Mayor of Los Cabos and the Tourism Director, and I am getting more quotes that I can use as endorsements for the book. To see the quotes, go to www.missabrevis.com/quotes.html. I am also working to get a few key promotional partners for the book, which I plan to introduce both in Mexico and in the USA.
A lot of people say it is hard to write a book. Well, I think writing it is the easy part; it is the promotional and publishing part that always takes so long. But then I guess if it were too simple, everyone could do it. Hmmm.
No winners on my contest from yesterday’s entry to guess the movie I saw last night. Keep trying!

Wow – I’ve been degligent on updating the blog. I started well, but then tapered off. That needs to change.
My wife and I watched a movie tonight, and it inspired me to get back into the blogging. For the first person who can tell me the name of the movie, I will send you a copy of one of my books. If you don’t know what books I’ve written, then go to my main website — you guessed it — www.stuartgustafson.com.
To send me your guess of the movie title, enter your guess at www.stuartgustafson.com/guessmovie.html.
Good luck.
Until next time, Cheers!
Stuart

I haven’t just been sitting on my hands, but I am totally shocked at myself that it has been one month since my last posting. Shame on me!!!
I have added some photos to my travel page at www.stuartgustafson.com/travel — I am still sorting through the Rome photos. Having a digital camera is really good, but then it forces you to take lots of pictures that you have to eventually sort through. That is what I am doing now. I have posted pictures of Venice and Florence, and I am culling through the Rome pictures and naming each photo that I keep. I hope to get them posted this weekend. I half expect my wife to say that we can’t travel again until the May trip pictures are all sorted, amed, and posted!!!
Thanks for reading. Bye for now.
