Frugal Beautiful Reviews Secrets Of A Stingy Scoundrel

Frugal Beautiful gives the 2-year-old book its first review in ages.

An excerpt:

The writing in this book is hilarious, a little raunchy and totally snarky- you will totally love it.  This is the kind of book you want to have in your arsenal and openly displayed on your bookshelf as a “screw the system” book that totally helps you save a few bucks.   It’s worth the purchase price,  both for applicable tips and entertainment value..you’ll laugh and get a few “OH SNAPS” out of it.

One Wedding And The Opposite Of A Funeral

I stepped out of a wedding reception for an hour to do this interview with Michael Finney, host of Consumer Talk on 810 AM in San Francisco.

The best result the interview yielded is it brought my book's Amazon ranking back from the dead, lifting it from No. 550,000 to 64,000. Shut up. To me that's a high ranking because my book had been obeying Tom Petty's advice in the song Free Falling for far too long. If I can just keep getting that show to have me on every day, I'll be kicking down Dan Brown's Amazon ranking doorstep before long.

If any of you who are reading this happen to be San Francisco talk show hosts, hook a brotha up.

Oh, and the second best thing about that interview was it got me out of a wedding for an hour. Weddings aren't my favorite things, so when I went from being at one to talking about myself on the radio that was a reversal akin to the kind Mr. Miyagi pulled on members of the Cobra Kai when they attacked him in skeleton outfits.
