Happy Book News

Last night I had dinner with a friend who mentioned some potential copyright issues regarding Off the Beaten (Subway) Track that I've been worrying about for a few months in the far recesses of my frazzled mind. In fact, the worry was so distant (but gnawing) that I forgot about it until I was falling asleep tonight, and then I couldn't sleep because I got so nervous. I am sure that everything will work out fine in the end, as it usually does, but it's my nature to freak out for the most part.

While I was pondering the vastness of the universe, I decided to google the book and see if anything new appeared. And goodness gracious, I was delighted to discover that it is now for sale at Barnes & Noble! It's been on Amazon and a few other fine internet establishments for a few months now, but man, I feel like it's the super big times now! (I'm only slightly curious as to why it is not available at Barnes & Noble until July 28, which is 4 weeks later than Amazon's date of July 1, but I'm not going to think too much about that right this moment. I swear...)

Since I can't wake Husband up to share the exciting news with him, I am glad that I have my e-buddies and the internets to tell. And, anyone who will be in New York City on August 9th is invited to my book party. Just let me know, and I'll get you the details. I think that the fine day of filing and data entry that I have ahead of me (count down: 8 hours until blast off) will go by a bit faster while I think about being an author who has a book for sale at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. So cool.

Congrats Suzanne, now that B&N is going to have the book is a book signing tour in the works?

Wondering - why is it so much more important for Barnes and Noble to sell? Because they have 'real' stores? Just wondering.

And congratulations!!! Maybe I should come up for the book party...

I don't think it's more important to have B&N selling it. I think it's great that the two biggest online retailers now have it. If B&N listed it first, it'd be a super big deal to me when Amazon picked it up. And as it were, I was so super duper extra psyched when I saw it on Amazon a few months ago. And definitely come to the party!

Wherever people order it, if they don't order, whatever - Susanne (who has dogged me since day 1, when my delightful publisher improperly spelled my name with the ISBN registration) and I are just happy!
