Finding Never Ceese in bookstores!!

I had another guestbook entry from a young reader who saw my book on TVtropes.com and thought they'd like to read it but was afraid, after reading my many blogs, that they might not be able to find in a brick and mortar bookstore and their parents were not too keen about buying on-line.

So let me clarify ONCE more! You can walk into ANY large bookstore ANYWHERE in the world and ask for Never Ceese the official paperback (make sure and give them the ISBN though 9780976994701 or they'll try to sell you the out-of-print hardback because they can return that should you return it) or Forever Richard and they can order it for you.

NOOOOO! You most likely won't find it on the shelf and certainly not Never Ceese the paperback as NO larger bookstore will order a POD published book and especially not one that is non-returnable because that means they actually have to SELL it to make any money.

Forever Richard is returnable but my publisher has to pay for return shipping of books that are returned from large bookstores and administrative fees on top of that setting them up for a HUGE loss. Of course there wouldn't be so many returns from the bookstores if they'd put smaller pubbed authors front and center along side some of the books from larger pubbed authors but this will NEVER happen.

So yes! Go to the store and order it. At Barnes & Noble Never Ceese tops out at $13 but you do have to give them the ISBN or the hardback will come up (you know, just in case they have to send it back because you returned it.) Forever Richard will come up all day long as it isn't POD published.

Just stop expecting any small pubbed author to be in Brick and Mortar stores. Brick and Mortar stores are merely for large publishers (called that only because there are now small publishers duh!)

But you don't have to simply buy small pubbed authors on-line. Not if they have distribution of some kind. Both Never Ceese and Forever Richard have that. ;)

Just ask.
