That's what another friend said, who knew you were an African American romance novelist? Damn your makeup is excellent.

Bless you

Retail is $52.95 It's not cheap, but I've had zero complaints on cost from anyone whose bought one.

I hope to make it but I already have a copy - am I allowed to bring it?

Don't see why not. Just make sure they know it's your copy.

Hmm, decisions.

On the one hand, I'm thinking we should order one now so as not to risk the 15 selling out.

On the other hand, it would be good to buy one at the store and support them for supporting you.

On the other hand, they DID make it difficult on you and are making you eat the costs.

And on the other hand, where did all these hands come from? And why is there so much blood in my backpack?

So, D, would it be better for us to buy and bring our own copy? Buy a copy from you there? What should we do?

I'd say go ahead and buy it from Larry Edmunds. It will show them there is a demand for it and hopefully they'll keep stocking it after August and Cinecon in September. In the long run it will be good for it to be available in the bookstore.

I'm working with my agent to possibly submit the book (now that it's done) to Chronicle Books and/or Da Capo Press to see if they'd like to pick it up. It would be a cheaper edition, I'd stand to make a little $$ on it and it would then be available on amazon and elsewhere. Could be a good thing. Who knew this self publishing thing could be so time consuming and something of a headache?
