Brick and Mortar

This week finds Runtime Error on the shelves of Village Books, in the lovely Fairhaven district of Bellingham, WA. This is the first placement of my novel in a "brick and mortar" store.

Independent book stores offer a wonderful opportunity for exposure for a self-published author. Village Books has a great selection of titles, is a well-established business, and yet still offers opportunities for new authors like myself.

I look forward to seeing anyone in the Bellingham area on December 15, for an author event at Village Books. It will be at 7:00 PM - be there or be, well, somewhere else that is not as cool.

eBook Mania!

My novel has just been offered as a Nook book by Barnes and Noble.  This is the second e-reader version that is available. The iTunes store has carried Runtime Error for about a month now.

Most of my sales have been ebook sales. I have been able to price my work significantly lower as an indie publisher for ebook sales. I love a real book, and the hard copies that I have received are of good quality and look great. But print-on-demand publishing has a high per-unit cost, and forces the price of a good 'ol paperback higher than the large publishers I compete with. Quite a bit higher.

I am still waiting for approval for Amazon sales, and distribution for Kindle. But it's coming.

In the meantime, would it kill you to write a review, or at least rate my book in iTunes?
