Um, why not go and tell the ENTIRE country already?
Being that Arun Rajagopal is the Age of Conversation's only author from Oman, I think he--and he alone--should be responsible for publicizing it all over the country.
Oh wait...he ALREADY did.
Taking a few moments to catch-up on my blog reading I am ASTOUNDED at the amount of press Arun has generated for the book. The clippings on the right are but a few of the placements in print and broadcast that he's secured.
Um, WoWsa.
Some bloggers people just amaze me. And by some people I most definitely mean Arun.
Please do review his post here as I'm not doing the work he's done nearly enough justice.
Oh, and when Arun was not busy publicizing the Age of Conversation? Yeah, he was busy writing bios for all 103 authors.
Yep, some people just amaze me. And yes, when I'm in Oman I'm just gonna tell people, "I'm a friend of Arun's."
What a beautiful story. Arun's inspiration inspires. His dedication dazzles. His sharing spirit, a treasure.

I was blown away when I saw this over on Arun's site. He's a one-man news engine! He so gets the power of conversation, and he has made such a valuable contribution to our group effort.

Holy crap! That's amazing! I missed this at Arun's site so thanks for picking it up CK. This is a testament to the kind of thing that's possible when you really dedicate your energy to making it happen.
