yep -- local author on display


My daughter Charis stopped by The Bookmark, an independent bookstore in Fort Wayne, and was surprised to see Storm Chaser shelved there. I’d asked them to carry it – The Bookmark and Summer’s Stories in Kendallville are the only book stores that carry print copies.

She got so excited that she attracted the attention of another nearby shopper – who decided to buy a copy! I think I’ve discovered a new form of guerilla marketing.

    How exciting!!!! And what a sneaky cool way to get someone to buy your book. That has definitely been noted. :)

    You are so fortunate! The only bookstore in 29 Palms closed. Keep selling!

      I'll certainly do my best! Meanwhile, I'll hope somebody comes along and opens you a new bookstore.

    Daughter with big mouth can be a great thing sometimes.

    Sweet! Always a nice surprise to find your book cropping up in unexpected places. You definitely want to put your daughter to work on PR.

      Oh, yeah -- if she had the time, she'd do it in a heartbeat.

      Not only is it nice to see as an author, but with all the medical bills we've got coming in, we could use every dollar!
