Thanks to those who offered their commiseration on my release day SNAFU for my contemporary romance, WHERE SHE BELONGS. Usually if a book or magazine is dated, for example, January 2012, the issue or copy appears for sale during December. For example, I placed an ad for WHERE SHE BELONGS in the February 2012 edition of RT BookReviews. Well, that edition will be on newsstands and in subscribers’ hands by January 10th or thereabouts. It’s not common for the “release date” to arrive before the “on-sale” sate, but in the case of my book that’s what happened.
C’est la vie! I’ll survive. And hopefully so will the sale of my book! If I hadn’t been so preoccupied with my laser eye surgery (recovery coming along), I might have questioned the Amazon and Barnes and Noble information.
In preparing this post, I checked Amazon again and the site is now saying WHERE SHE BELONGS will be in stock December 27th—next week!
No more info yet from Barnes and Noble.
I also have updated news for librarians. Or, rather, a link to the Five Star Winter Catalogue, which includes ordering information and a promo that can be applied to orders of my book. So if you’re eager to read a copy but don’t usually buy hardcover, or if you’re a frequent library patron, please direct your librarian to the PDF catalogue. Or visit the link yourself, print the pertinent pages of the catalogue and deliver them to your librarian. I am eager to make some library sales.
