To all and any Independent Bookstores interested in carrying my books please note that while I have distribution through Ingram's Lightning Source, which means you can order my work, I DO NOT subscribe to any return policy crap invented by large publishers to keep bookstores of the day up and running. The policy was barely workable then and certainly doesn't work for Small Independent houses who can't afford to EAT the print cost of any "returned from the bookstore" books because Ingram's Lightning Source "destroys" them (actually I'm not convinced Lightning Source EVER sees ANY "returned from the bookstore" books as who would pay return postage for something AND THEN DESTROY IT!
Nevertheless, that's the deal. You can work through my publisher to set up a deal that's workable for both parties or at the very least one that has the publisher and author NOT losing money. ;)
