The
Adventures of Hank Fenn is
out and available in paperback and digitally at Amazon. The hope is
that Magers & Quinn will be carrying it by the end of the month
(I'm not even due to receive my copies till Jan. 27).
2015
saw me publish three books which all started out fine sales-wise then
fizzled over the last half of the year. Somehow I have to get beyond
Facebook and business card word of mouth and move on to another
level. All in all, the 103 copies sold were far more satisfying than
the 100-plus rejections I likely would've received had I continued on
the more traditional path.
There's
talk of a trade show this spring (at which I may be the only writer)
at the Union Depot in St. Paul. I'd have to figure out how to set up
some sort of slide show (been watching Youtube videos) involving book
covers and blurbs. And what if someone wants to buy one? Taxes,
credit cards... And what if no one buys one? Then I'm stuck with a
bunch of books... So much to learn.
Meanwhile
I work on book #5, The
Great American Scrapbook. It's
the
long-awaited sequel to Alice
and Her Grand Bell. The
much-anticipated sequel to No
Happier State, too.
And
The
Adventures of Hank Fenn, for
that matter. Come to think of it, if you're worried about those
quadruplets born on that train, it serves as a sequel to Bonus
Man, as
well. And a prequel to more...
