After Everything I've Written . . .

After everything I've written, folks still comment to me that they went to their bookstore and didn't find my books. Okay. One more time. The odds of finding a small press book in ANY bookstore are slim to nill. Large chain bookstores will NEVER place them though they do humor some small press publishers because they've made the mistake of making their books returnable, something that will sink a small press faster than they can say, "how many books were returned and how much money did I lose?!!!!"

Independent bookstores will put some on the shelf if you have the time to call each and everyone of them. I don't. But ALL bookstores, except targeted Christian ones, can order my book which is why I prefer you use the link to my publisher on the right over there ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>

Besides Brick & Mortar stores, unless they make drastic changes to accommodate Small publishers are about to be a thing of the past anyway. E-books rule and they should. The technology is certainly coming around for this.
