It was a pleasant surprise to learn that What About the Boy? was one of a handful of new books mentioned on TV Saturday. Click here to see the video clip.

A friend asked what I did to achieve such notice, but this one was an unexpected gift from the blue. On the other hand, some work has gone into lining up a series of media interviews. When possible, I will begin posting links to those discussions as they occur. The first is scheduled for 8:35 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday.

UPDATE: That first interview (via Skype) is now available here. Select the file dated 08-08-11. My segment begins at about the 35-minute mark.

INTERVIEW EXCERPT: “… I’m proud of what we did. But you know I really can’t imagine any other course of action. It was just a thing that had to be done. Now, not everybody reacts as we did. Not everybody has exactly the same variables in their life. If that happened to me now, if I had a child at this point who had that kind of problem, I’m not sure I would have the energy to do it. But I’m so glad that we did it. And even the things that we tried that did not work out—. Could you go on with your life knowing that there was an option that you didn’t try? For me, the answer was no. I had to try.”
