It’s on the street!
That’s the “Theater Arts” section of the Barnes & Noble in the Summerlin section of Las Vegas. We trekked up there this afternoon to make sure our book was properly displayed. The store was in disarray! They were in the process of moving entire sections to new locations.
In spite of that, we were thrilled when a sales associate located our book and asked us if we’d like to purchase it. “No…” we said. “We’re the authors!” Hey! That was fun! Let’s go to the other B & N on the other side of town and do the same thing! Nah. Enough for one day.
We hear from a local comic that the other location was fresh out… or they couldn’t find it. (Not to worry, he’ll just order one on Amazon.com!) It would not be surprising if we learned they were sold out, considering that they’ll probably only stock one or two initially– then carry more as reviews and other press mentions drive customers. At least it is hoped.
In this day and age, it’s not so important to have all that many in stock, what with online orders and inexpensive shipping and Amazon Prime.
It’s significant that the first thing one encounters when entering this particular B & N is a giant display for the Nook, B & N’s color e-book reader. Too little, too late? We shall see.
Click on the above pic to be taken to the Amazon.com page where you can purchase our book! (And it’s a special URL, because when you click on it, Amazon throws a few pennies our way!)

I asked for your book for my birthday and I can’t wait to get it in my hands. Best of luck to you!
Love this site–just put a link to it on my blog.
Happy birthday, Linda Lou! We just got a box of ten from Amazon.com… we pre-ordered two dozen a coupla weeks ago.
Congrats on the book! I hope you sell a billion of ’em!
Best,

Thanks, Ryan! A colleague and a longtime reader of the magazine has dubbed it “an immediate classic!”
We don’t care what the rest of the reviews say after that!
