Guy Fieri gives Operation Warrior Library a shout-out (and DVDs!) on Veteran's Day!


Our great friend Yvette at EXTRA told DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES host Guy Fieri about Operation Warrior Library. Not only is he sending us copies of his latest DVD to send to the troops, but he recorded a great message for them, as well.

You can support OWL contributors like Guy by purchasing copies of their books, CDs and DVDs in the OWL Store.

Thanks, Guy!

And thanks, Yvette!

My MediaBistro BlogTalk Radio interview about Operation Warrior Library

This morning I spent some time being interviewed by Jason Boog of Galleycat and Matt Van Hoven of AgencySpy about Operation Warrior Library.

You can catch the Galleycat post here.

You can actually listen to the interview here.

As a reminder to everyone who wants to help but may not have books or audiobooks to donate - you can support the authors who are donating their books to us by buying copies of their books in the OWL STORE. You'll find all their books there. Proceeds from these sales also help us continue to deliver great books to our troops.
