Introducing The Empty-Nest Road Trip Blues – B-Vlog, Part 1

Given that I like to talk, I thought I might as well talk about and read my new book to you! I’m calling this a B-Vlog – a book-vlog! The book is titled, The Empty Nest Road Trip Blues: An Interactive Journal from A Dad’s Point-of-View. My good friend Dave Taylor wrote a glowing review as he really GOT it – find that review here: http://www.http://gofatherhood.com/2012/12/the-empty-nest-road-trip-blues/. Another great dad friend, Christopher Lewis also wrote a terrific review: http://dadofdivas.com/fatherhood/book-review-the-empty-nest-road-trip-blues-by-brucesallan
