Books are Purchased
Wow! I've been so busy, I haven't had a chance to post a comment in this blog.
I received the delivery of 100 books. I thought I'd take some time off to rest, but I wasn't allowed. First I sent several copies to the wonderful people who critiqued the manuscript before mailing it in to be published. I did this in a number of visits to the post office, and since the clerk knew the book in the mailer was mine, we talked about it each time I visited. People overheard the conversations. People purchased the book on the spot.
I had an appointment at the local beauty parlor and brought a copy of the book inside to show the gal who cuts my hair. She didn't buy a copy, but the man beside me who was getting his hair cut as well, did. I went to the bank to open a new business savings account and deposit the funds from these few purchases, and the teller bought a copy.
Fortunately, I'd had the forsight to put some books in the back of my SUV along with a few bills and change. I felt a little indiscrete, selling my book out of the back of my car like a not-quite-legal vender on the streets of New York City. "Hey, lady! Have I got a deal for you!"
But it's also a wonderful feeling to know that people want to read the book and are willing to pay for it. I am very grateful.
