Amazon #1 bestseller American OZ<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <\/em><\/strong>is being re-launched in July and followed by the end of summer by The Story Cycle<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. An avalanche of publicity has splashed both across several newspaper front pages – including the Chicago Tribune – and resulted in TV, radio, and national podcast appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both American OZ <\/em>and The Story Cycle<\/em> are getting AMAZING publicity. The Chicago Tribune<\/em><\/strong> splashed a story and photos across the front page of the A + E (Arts) section and I was featured on WGN Radio <\/strong>twice with Tribune Columnist Rick Kogan and radio legend John Records Landecker. I was also on WLS-Radio<\/strong> with “Big John” Howell and Chicago Public Radio, WBEZ’s “Reset.”<\/strong> I was on WGN-TV Morning News <\/strong>and podcasts with The Hidden Truth <\/strong>and Frommer’s Travel Show <\/strong>(American OZ will be featured on July 4th<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was on The Story Cycle: Bicycling Route 66 Chicago to LA in Covid’s Deadliest Time<\/em>, I made the front-page centerpiece of the Arizona Daily Sun <\/strong>in Flagstaff and the Santa Monica Daily-Press<\/strong> in California. I met an old friend, Steve Pokin, at the Springfield News-Leader<\/strong> in Missouri and he wrote a Gannett column on me and The Story Cycle\/American OZ<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a summary of the publicity and links for both projects so you can read, listen and watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
