You know what’s cool?
Walking into a bookstore and finding copies of your book sitting on the shelf.
My wife used her Blackberry to snap these shots as she browsed our local Chapters Indigo store.
I like the “Local Author” sticker too. It’s a nice, personal kind of touch.
You know what?
This happy discovery just made my day (doesn’t take much to satisfy an author, uh?)
I think that, maybe, I’m walking a wee bit taller today.
Hey, if you see the book in your local bookstore, would you mind snapping a shot and sending it to me?
I’ll be happy to buy you a coffee,
Or send you a bookmark,
Or something.

Hi Mike
You should be pleased. I know just how hard it is to get a book written, published and promoted. I’ve been staying out of bookstores of late because I’m getting ready to move and don’t want to tempt myself with new purchases! But I think I’ll go for a visit just to feel the thrill of seeing your book on the shelf.
Whoohoo.

Hey thanks Gwen,
It is pretty cool to see (I wonder if long-time authors still get a thrill over it)….
