These days, most publishers aren't sending out most authors on a multi-city book tour. In our Internet era, what is evolving instead is something known as "the blog book tour." One of the most highly prized stops on this new circuit is the pioneering videoblogging site Hot Air created by the multi-talented, multi-faceted Michelle Malkin. Michelle, a great friend of mine, is not only a courageous author, columnist and Fox News personality, she is also one of the major innovators on the 'Net, providing an amazingly wide, deep and essential range of content, both at Hot Air  and, of course, her must-read website MichelleMalkin.com.

      Today, I am very pleased to link to Hot Air for the first of several installments of what, for me, was a marvelous conversation about my new book, The Death of the Grown-Up.
