Never Ceese - award winning fiction NOT found in ANY bookstore!

That's correct do not look for Never Ceese in ANY bookstore. The hardbacks you'll now find in used bookstores as my first publisher (no longer a traditional press) liquidated all copies. Since then I re-published my original paperback version through Lightning Source after learning that making books returnable to larger bookstores meant consistently losing money, I opted out of this scenario. As a result, bookstores won't order my book. But then they won't order books from small published authors anyway as they know that small publishers can't compete with the publicity wagons of the larger publishers and that makes them no money. ;)

It doesn't keep bookstores from ordering a few here and there though if the book is returnable which they promptly send back for a full refund to the publisher when the book of course doesn't sell and publisher eats the returns and then some.

So, if you find Never Ceese the paperback in a larger bookstore just know that you're dreaming. Lots of places to buy Never Ceese on-line though and I'll be adding new options to my sites soon. Forever Richard can be found in larger bookstores but is suffering incredibly under the "return policy blues" talked about in previous blogs.
