A Book Giveaway to Jumpstart the New Year

I just received the first copies of Santa Barbara and California’s Central Coast and am delighted with the beautiful layout and all of the color photographs inside.

Countryman Press publishes my new travel book this month and copies already are available at many bookstores, including Chaucer’s Books in Santa Barbara, and online retailers such as Skylight Books in Los Angeles, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.

To celebrate, I’m giving away three autographed copies this month, just in time for Valentines Day. Would you like one? Just send a message (to PaperTigersInk AT Gmail.com) and put “Santa Barbara and the Central Coast” in the subject line. Or send your message via Twitter. The entry deadline is Jan. 28, 2011.

In the coming weeks I’ll be posting book excerpts, travel items, and photos. I’d also like to invite readers to share their favorite Central Coast spots, too.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by SoCal So Cool. And Happy New Year to all!

1//30/11 Update: Congratulations to El Segundo librarian Ellen Cunningham, Daren Davey and Norman Yiskis, the book giveaway winners. Enjoy!
