Okay–I was in the middle of a Top Sheep episode last night when our internet went down and the whole thing was lost. Fucking blogger.
I WILL get you that Top Sheep sometime this week, but for now, two quick things, and then the bell rings and the kids come in and the shouting and the blood and the humanity… you know–work! So here’s my two things–
A. BOUND
is out on amazon.com (yay!!!) but you may want to notice the lag time between ordering and receiving!!! Part of that is that the book isn’t even at MY doorstep, and part of that is…well, I don’t know… iUniverse is pissing me off…the damn book says it was published in December–which is when we initiated the process, certainly, but in the past it has always been when they RELEASED the book–not when we submitted it… they also didn’t put my real name on the inside front cover. I don’t know why. I think it’s sort of legal that they have to–but at this point I’m just so damned happy to see it in print I’m going to ignore the small stuff!!
And this leads me to
B. A question. In the past, because, well, I figured nobody else would, I always reviewed my own book first. I have a small (but fiercely loyal, love you all) following now, and I was wondering if doing this is still necessary–or even if it’s a little narcissistic, even for me. Now, part of the reason I do it is to add to the plot synopsis on the back cover–it’s taken me three books to get to the point where that summary doesn’t leave me cold. But the other part was to, well, make my own book look legit. I mean, it’s no secret on the amazon pages that Teron Angel and Amy Lane are the same person… but still…now that people are reading the books it feels a little…I dunno…fraudulent somehow.
So should I still review my own book this time? Do you think enough people will review it for me? Seriously–what do you think?
