Red and I are at the Battenkill Bookstore signing table most afternoons right now, we sometimes take calls from people buying my books who call the store. Red is a chick magnet of the highest order, he just draws women like flies and flirts with them shamelessly.  They gather around my signing table when he is there. He has girlfriends everywhere now and drinks up the attention. Too many people feed him biscuits or get too excited, I have to keep him steady, I don’t want him to completely lose his focus and responsiveness. He has sold a lot of books for me, I think.
