For those who don’t know, John O’Hurley has written an anecdotal book about dogs titled It’s Okay to Miss the Bed on the First Jump: And Other Life Lessons I Learned from Dogs. The book has been out for less than 3 weeks and is almost on the verge of cracking Amazon’s top 100 selling books (at #119 as of this post). O’Hurley mentioned that his book is either #18 or #16 on a best-selling list. I don’t recall if O’Hurley said it was the New York Times list or another one.

To promote the book, O’Hurley’s on a book signing tour. O’Hurley has been in several cities including Providence, RI; Lexington, KY; and last night in Harrisburg, PA. (Sorry if you’re in or near one of those cities.) From the Upcoming Celebrity Book Signings and Events page, here’s where O’Hurley will be in the near future (all times local)…

• Book Revue (New York Avenue) in Huntington, NY; November 20 at 8 PM.
• Sam’s Club (East Colonial Drive) in Orlando, FL; November 26 at 1 PM.
• Borders Books (West Sand Lake Road) in Orlando, FL; November 28 at 1 PM.
• Barnes and Noble (Cobb Parkway) in Atlanta, GA; November 30 at 7 PM.

I attended the Harrisburg signing last night. I had a phenomenal time, both meeting Mr. O’Hurley and catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in over 8 years. During a pre-signing discussion, Mr. O’Hurley talked briefly about some humorous anecdotes from his book and about his TV roles, from Seinfeld to Dancing with the Stars to the Feud. Also, Mr. O’Hurley mentioned that he will be a father in the near future.

If you are near any of the above mentioned locations, I encourage you to attend a signing. O’Hurley is a class act and the discussion portion of the book signing will entertain you. I cannot guarantee this will happen at each event but at last night’s event, O’Hurley said he would stay until everybody’s books were signed.
