I'm Back... and Sending Some New Magic Your Way

I feel the need to apologize (once again) for the long hiatus in posting. 
The year following my relocation to New York was a time of adjustment and tremendous workload. Then, extensive and unauthorized copying of material on this blog caused me to  consider shutting it down. However, the driving force behind my decision to continue (Oh, yes!) has been the over 2000 unique visits per month—for each of the months that I've been off the keyboard! I have made some adjustments to the blog security-wise to keep everyone honest...

Having said that, LET'S GET BACK TO OUR BUSINESS OF ENJOYING KEFALONIA, UNCUT & UNEDITED.

 And I see no better way of recapturing the MAGIC than starting with the gorgeous new cover of Paul Dillon's book THE MAGIC IN THE RECEIVER!
It's so... how can I say this? It's so KEFALONIA!

The Magic in the Receiver, and its new cover

Just to bring you up to date: A lot has happened since I first introduced you to the book.
(previous post: The Magic in the Receiver.)

It went on to become an AMAZON BESTSELLER and just about the best advertising Kefalonia could wish for. Suffice it to say that the book was downloaded by over 25000 readers during a 3 day promotion by Amazon in May, shooting up to the #1 position in its category. Nice, Paul!

During this time, Paul also had his guest blog hosted on the official site of The Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO).
All great stuff!

My tiny contribution to the back cover
Not to mention that I got to brainstorm with Paul a bit—over skype as we are on opposite coasts of the U.S.—and had the chance and the honor of getting to know (virtually, for now) this gentleman of a writer.

I take this opportunity to thank him publicly for including my humble but heartfelt words on the back cover of the book edition for Greece.

💬 and a little note for the suspicious minds out there: no, this is not a work project or a commission for me... It's a labor of love, an honor, and a pleasure—in that order! 💬
