The disappointing or perhaps frustrating element is that my second publisher is actually traditional in every sense of the word and should be able to get me into bookstores the same way larger authors get in. The one who set up up my book signing though didn't tell me it was simply something he was doing on his own otherwise I would've known it could've been so easily stomped on. No biggee really and the Sunday signing went just fine. ;D
Watch for next big signing with Blood Mobile maybe even in your area as Richard needs to keep his supply steady.
*Sue chuckles* Bumped by Barbie! Oh HA!!!!!
It's great that you can look at that with such a great sense of humor, Sue.
ReplyDeleteAnd you wonder why people love you. ;)
I'll bet Barbie doesn't love me. LOL I did learn a LOT about BAM through this experience though. Her publisher is a local guy who seems to have found his way into BAM through American Wholesale Book Company who he claims is BAM's parent company. When I googled the company I learned they only provide those returned books from bookstores for resale.
ReplyDeleteThese must be the companies people like LSI and other POD's sell those "destroyed" books too. How interesting. Hmmmm . . .
Yeah, Sue...BAM will only stock books that are carried through that American Wholesale Book Company, making it hard for smaller presses to get in their stores.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons I despise and BAM.
