My Journal #2

A fruitful week

This last week I took off for So California for a Gospel Fest.  While there I checked in on FB and to my delight I had requests for paperback books of Silent River. 8 total so far. Some to be mailed some to be delivered. There are those pre-ordering for delivery in July at our Campmeeting. Luckily I will be sending in an additional order of 30 books to be delivered soon. And fortunately I was paid to ghost write a novel for a friend. That means I have to get on it and get it done before July.
This extra 8 isn't included in the 31 sold from before and just Friday I was up to 43 and 0 paperbacks.  Well, that may not be good enough sales for my agent, but that's an increase of 13 books from the week before. He can't count my book sales, but I can. So I will have 25+ the additional 30 I'm ordering this week. I should be set for a while. I feel badly that he can't count my purchases as sales. I'm buying them to sell, so they are books in circulation. 

The orig Vanishing of Katherine Sullivan is still selling in the secondary market. Now sadly I get nothing from those sales, but it does keep people interested in my book. Even if they buy from goodwill or whatever. I feel they will look for my next book to be published and want to read that one. 'I wish people would keep my book instead of giving it to goodwill or secondhand stores. After all it's a good book!
