William Kendall, at Speak of the Devil, has posted a review. It brought tears to my eyes. Go here to read
Having the novel out there, even in paperback, is surreal. Personally, I’ve sold almost every book I’ve bought at cost. I started out with thirty-two and now have ten left. My marketing plan is to plant seeds without shoving it down peoples’ throats. So I’ll be doing some fundraisers within the next couple of months. Next month, I’ll be hosting a book party at Sweetman’s little eyewear shop. And once I know when for sure it will be up for the Kindle, I’ll be having a blog party and giving away free ebooks.
Let me know if any of you are interested in helping out. Just say so in the comment box. Hoping to have a date soon.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
