Tis the season....

Cooler Near the Lake

That gift giving season is indeed upon us and I know many of you are making your lists (and checking them twice) for your Holiday gift giving. I just might have an idea to help your gift giving along.

Yes, it's true...I'm hawking my book once again!  It's just that I've got all these books to sell and someone's got to do it. So run to your local bookstore to buy my book, Cooler Near the Lake... or order on line at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Here's my pitch....

"Cooler Near the Lake is a collection of Jim Heffernan's classic newspaper columns that spans his lengthy career in Duluth Minnesota as a popular newspaper writer and columnist for the (formerly) Knight Ridder Duluth News Tribune. Heffernan's writings are known for his wry humor, interesting perspectives on life and for capturing the colorful culture of northerneastern Minnesota. Also included in his book are unique perspectives on John F. Kennedy, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Gregory Peck and other famous people who visited Duluth. Heffernan, now a retired newspaper writer, continues his musings on a blog and writes a regular magazine column."

I've heard it's a great "bathroom reading" book or a book to keep by your bedside, to read a column at a time.  You can check it all out on my book web site too. (Click HERE.) And...thanks!
