Another way to get publicity is to realize you are an expert at what you do. This is especially true for those who have completed a manuscript or book-length project that required the writer to acquire expertise on a certain subject or topic.<\/p>\n

Sometimes publicity falls in your lap, though because of a tragic event. I wrote a memoir, Beyond the Cold: An American\u2019s Warm Portrait of Norway<\/em>, which shows how I, though not of Norwegian descent, developed an affinity for the country, culture and people, beginning when I lived in Norway for a year with my family at age 11, and my return trips as an adult.<\/p>\n

On Friday, July 22, 2011, Anders Breivik set off a bomb in the center of Oslo, then went to the island of Ut\u00f8ya, where the Labour Party was having a youth retreat. He slaughtered almost 70 young people, including a friend of my friend\u2019s 18-year old daughter.<\/p>\n

In Summer 1992, I attended the International Summer School at the University of Oslo with 500 students from 70 countries. In 1996, I planned a trip around the 50th anniversary of the ISS. Before I left, I was contacted by the student organizer asking me to speak as an alum at the event.<\/p>\n

That tragic Friday was the week before the 65th anniversary event and I had planned to e-mail good wishes that day. While I worried about the safety of my Norwegian friends, I worried that ISS could be a target. I issued a statement that Mt. Airy Patch used. The following Sunday, I found messages on my Facebook and LinkedIn pages, voice mail, e-mail from Pat Loeb of KYW Radio. Notice the different media channels she tried.<\/em> She was looking for someone to interview with a Norwegian connection. She Googled and found me. I didn\u2019t think it was proper to mention the book under the circumstances, but I was introduced as a Norway expert and she mentioned the ISS\u2019 upcoming 65th anniversary. She used the quote (about 10 seconds) when I talked about what made the ISS successful, but the point was, \u201cThis (Anders Breivik) is not the Norway I know.\u201d She also interviewed a college professor. I am a member of the Norwegian American Chamber of Commerce Philadelphia, which didn\u2019t exist then. She could have had a choice of actual Norwegians to offer reactions. But, she found me.<\/p>\n
