Maybe not a good idea?

but after a couple of requests, I put the Rat Catcher up in print. Trouble is, the thing costs $14...POD isn't cheap and it's a big ol' novel. That's not even close to free, and the book is supposed to be a gift. I might buy a couple myself and give them away. I don't think I'll send out a lot of announcements because by golly, I'm not a publisher and self-published books are NOT what I want for my future. In fact, I wonder if it looks bad to have that puppy out there?

Right now it's in the public area at lulu, but maybe I should take it to private. Because after all, Image is Everything.

Hey, stop giggling, you schlemiel.

    Yikes, it's a shame it's so expensive :( Sorry to hear that. Sounded neat though.

    I'm going to see if I find a way to make it cheaper. I thought POD was getting less expensive all the time but apparently I was wrong.

    There is a way for booksellers to buy this for $5 off, I think. Not that I'm telling you that for any particular reason.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
