CATCH 22

Now that I have asked everyone I know to ask everyone they know to buy a copy of “Behind the Shadows” and have mailed out over a thousand promo cards, I feel as though I have hit a brick wall in the sales department. Of course, if book stores carried “Behind the Shadows” -- even if only a few copies -- things would be much easier, but they do not. I have now lost count of the number of people who have told me “I will stop at the bookstore on my way home and pick up a copy.” And each time I must explain that “Behind the Shadows” is not in bookstores, but they will order a copy for you, which, by the way, takes about 2 weeks to get; or you can order it online. With a look of amazement everyone asks me the same question “how can you sell if you are not visible?” -- I wish I knew. So in an effort to boost sales I am contacting PR firms. Many have told me that they do not handle new novelists and one actually hung up on me! But I will not give up. Each time I get discouraged I remember what a young wander recently told me (did I mention that I speak to everyone?) –

“The only place to find the light is to look “Behind the Shadows”

KEEP YOUR LIGHT SHINING!
