On the upside, the paperback went live on Createspace last night and should start showing up in other distribution channels soon. https://www.createspace.com/5309558<br /><br />And I'll be giving away copies once the ones I ordered arrive. <br /><br />Good for you. Writing the next book is the most important part. Which I need to get back to today. Thanks for the wishes!B.E.

I don't ever plan on buying a Kindle and I won't read on my phone (ouch, my eyes!) and I don't own a tablet and I won't read on my computer. I'm a pain, I know. But if I see it in paperback before it shows up on B&N, I'll buy that. I do want to read it, but it's got to be in a way that's enjoyable for me or else I just don't enjoy it.<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted you to know WHY I'm not reading it yet. <br /><br />As for marketing... I'm not a salesman. Never have been. I just keep writing the next book and getting it out there. It seems to be working so far. Not very well, but at least I'm selling books. I wish you many, many sales! :)<br />Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173702747791230686.post-17446458674164319492015-02-13T16:54:34.889-06:002015-02-13T16:54:34.889-06:00You have no idea how deliriously happy your commen...You have no idea how deliriously happy your comment and your review made me, Fran. Thank you so much. I printed it out for keeps. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Sorry about the bumped nose, though. And thanks for recommending it to your friends. =o)B.E.

Tried to finish it but dropped off, allowing the iPad to fall on my nose. Got up extra early this morning and finished before work, with enough time to leave a review on Goodreads. I'm not being kind or polite, I truely did enjoy it enormously. I was invested in JC and totally freaked by Emma from chapter 1. The story ran smoothly, dialogue was realistic and the suspense woke me up in the middle of the night with a whoosh! Suffice to say when I got to the end I wanted to start reading again immediately. A thoroughly enjoyable book and I've already recommended to people and mentioned it in a post on a quilting blog!

And yes, I'm bumfuzzled about the whole marketing yourself thing. Even moreso than you as I was never a salesman. Cheers! <i>*clinks coffee mugs*</i> It's too early for champagne.
