The Flightless Goose on The Today Show
Last Wednesday, there was a big event on The Today Show – America’s number one morning show. No, we’re not talking about the wedding. The Flightless Goose made an appearance on The Today Show to announce the new website.
To promote their childrens’ book, The Flightless Goose, Nataliya A. Goodman (the illustrator) and Eric D. Goodman (the author) went to Rockefeller Plaza during the taping of the show with a handmade poster announcing the publication of The Flightless Goose and launching the brand-new website.
As Matt spoke to the camera inside Studio 1A, “RunGoose” appeared above his head, curving over it like a hat. It appeared for a good 20 or 30 seconds as Matt came on and off screen.
Later during the show, Al Roker gave his animated weather report, part of it in front of the RunGoose sign.
Meredith Vieria saw the RunGoose sign and even asked for a copy once it goes to print in the fall.
As you may have guessed, the official website for The Flightless Goose is …
www.RunGoose.com
Go to the online pond today! And visit often to be the first to know about the release date, how to get advance copies, and events surrounding The Flightless Goose.

Big News: Goose Contract Signed!
There's big news at the publishing pond! Author Eric D. Goodman and artist Nataliya A. Goodman have singed a publishing contract for their illustrated childrens’ book, The Flightless Goose!
The book will be published by Writers’ Lair Books and is due out this fall.
The picture book, which tells the story of a goose who must cope with a disability and learn to focus on other strengths, has been a long time swimming. Based on the true story of a Canadian goose living on a pond in a neighborhood they once lived in, Eric wrote the story nearly ten years ago. Over the next few years, his wife Nataliya illustrated the book with her beautiful watercolors, bringing the characters to life.
Then came the grueling part—finding a publisher. Over the years, Eric and Nataliya submitted their book to dozens of publishers and agents. Some responses were form rejection letters, others were complimentary, but ultimately passed on the project.
When the CEO of Writers’ Lair Books took a look at the book, she knew she wanted to publish it. She issued a contract, which Eric and Nataliya signed.
So, after years of wading in the water, The Flightless Goose is about to take flight. Look for it online and in bookstores summer 2008!
And be sure to stay tuned for news about the publication date, special pre-publication offers, the release party, and events in the area and around the country!

Goose Author Gives Thanks (With Deborah Norville)
Johnny, a friend of the flightless goose, shows Gilbert that it is important to think about the things you are thankful for than the things that you wish you could change.
Gilbert could not fly. But rather than focus on that, he decided to look at the things in his life that he was grateful for.
A new book says that when you write down the things you are thankful for, it can help you.
Eric D. Goodman, the author of The Flightless Goose, recently talked with Deborah Norville, who is a famous television anchor for the show Inside Edition, and the author of a new book called Thank You Power.
Eric interviewed Deborah about her book, and about the power of being grateful. You can read about it in last week’s issue of Writers Weekly — the most widely read electronic magazine for freelance writers in the world.
The article is called “Give Thanks for Your Writing.” Read it at the link below and learn how being thankful can help you.
