Almost have a review... and more sales

I almost have a review from the blogosphere - this finally got crawled hit the search index on live.com: http://poseysessions.blogspot.com/2009/01/mailbox-monday_26.html. There is no actual post of a review of the book yet (these people are busy...) but she at least liked the cover illustration (I worked hard on that thing, so I am glad she liked it).

Also, two more sales via the display in Borders down at Westfield mall (SouthCenter to any real western Washington natives). Yippee!!

First real sale...

Not that sales of my book to people I know don't count, but they don't count. I mean, if I know you and you bought the book, that's not exactly the same thing as somebody who has never heard of me seeing the book in a store and buying a copy.

My sister-in-law is a manager at the Borders in Tukwila, WA. She got them to carry Millicent Marbleroller on consignment, and she put up a table display with a poster and everything. You just cannot beat the family connection. Anyway, I just got an email back from her that a copy actually sold. Wow... sold to someone I didn't know. Sold to someone who wasn't under pressure to be nice to me.

I haven't gone out and bought a boat yet with the profits (fwiw: the profits on that sale might buy me a burger at McDonalds), but the experience is sure fun.
