| Posted 8/31/2005 6:06 AM (GMT -5) |   | | Barnes and Noble just purchased the first book in my series, GemQuest, The Twins, for 100 of their stores. It should be on the shelves by now. As an author who publishes with an independent press, I am really pleased. It's an uphill battle no matter whom you publish with, but it's even steeper when you are not marketed by a major imprint. Now they just have to sell, and if they do then Barnes and Noble told me that they will purchase the next two in the seires as well. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 9/2/2005 5:24 AM (GMT -5) | | | Thanks for all the kind words. I was just told today by a very kind man who works for B & N that the books did in fact ship and should in fact be on the shelves of the stores. | | Back to Top | | |
