Some were available special order, but many were not.<BR/>Very eye opening. I had this Newbie idea that once you were published you were golden. I guess you do have to work your butt off and keep yourself out there. VERY GOOD OBJECT LESSON! <BR/>btw: out of the two, one was too graphic for my taste, the other was Beth Ciotta's "Evie Ever After" which looks delightful. I'll let you know tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>NOW TO THE INTERESTING THINGS:<BR/>There I was, roaming the shelves, list in hand, and I kept bumping into another woman, list in hand.<BR/>We started talking...she starts telling me about this guy on this amazing blog tour...HOLY COW...that was GREAT. If you make "have you been KONRATHED?" buttons or tee shirts, I'll take one.<BR/><BR/>The other interesting thing, when she found out that I was the winner of the 70 word or less story that you pronounced "truly evil" she said "But you look so NICE!" (I have permission to blurt this out to the universe)<BR/>Preconceived notions are a funny thing.<BR/>You my friend are making a dent in the universe. (or at least in Ohio)<BR/>Many thanks for the entertainment and wisdom this week.<BR/>Karen SchindlerKaren from Mentorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685540761526680384noreply@blogger.com
