My Cousin the Saint in Paperback–With My Blurb!

Remember when I reviewed My Cousin the Saint by Justin Catanoso?

Well the paperback version comes out in a couple of days, and my review is quoted in the blurbs in the front of the book! How exciting!

Yes, if you follow me @michellefabio on Twitter or are my friend on Facebook, you already know this–and if you’re not following or friending yet, come on over! Did you know I was also recently named one of 20 Interesting Expats to Follow on Twitter by Matador? I’m so honored!

Anyway, I *still* highly recommend Justin’s book–this is a fabulous gift for an Italian, especially a Calabrian–so if you need a regalo, haven’t gotten your copy yet, or were simply waiting for paperback, the release date is June 16, 2009; you can pre-order My Cousin the Saint: A Story of Love, Miracles, and an Italian Family Reunited here.

Don’t you just love the new cover art?!

Buona domenica!

    [...] Ok, I’m just a little excited. The paperback version of My Cousin the Saint comes out tomorrow, and I just got a little help from a wonderful American blogger in Calabria in getting the word out — Michelle Fabio, author of the popular Web site bleeding espresso. I was really happy to be able to excerpt her online review of my book in the paperback. Her post is here. [...]

    Wow! This is super cool! Not just to see your name in print, but to be given the honor of being in the “front of the book” blurbs!

    Keep up the good book reviews….I enjoy getting your updates through GoodReads and I have a few that I’ll put on my list when I get done with what I’m already reading!

    I know, right? Front of the book! Whee!!!!
