Moderate jaw-drop

Okay, we're browsing down the aisles of a local Brooks Pharmacy for this and that, and pass the paperback-and-magazine rack. And what does Wife spot?

Copy of DRAGON'S EYE mass-market edition. In with the assorted bodice-rippers and best-sellers.

Must be the beefcake Gary on the cover...

Regarding the backlist, I don't know what your library's policy on paperbacks might be, but SUMMER COUNTRY and WINTER OAK are now available only in the mass-market editions. I have copies of the trade paperbacks available, or some friends have an online web site with autographed trade-paperback copies and a system for ordering and mailing set up.

Wife and I lived in Ann Arbor for five years or so, back in the Jurassic Era, and my family pretty much settled Traverse City. That's why I asked about Niles.

Well, we would prefer trade paperbacks over mass market, and I would be happy to pay either you or your friends for copies (direct money always better than royalties I say). You can send relevant information to contactndl *at* gmail.com. Autographs are optional, but we are running a Winter Reading Program for adults and they would make good giveaways, so I might have to buy a few...

Went back to read the Green Man reviews of WINTER OAK, now I !really! am looking forward to reading them.

My dad was at Michigan back in the day, and my wife got her doctorate from there too, and I have in-laws living in Ann Arbor these days as well. We get over there about every three months for a restock from Trader Joe's (Niles is somewhat lacking in the interesting food areas). Haven't been to Traverse City yet. I am a Canuck transplant from Montreal by way of Fort Wayne, IN. Loong story. May have to start a LJ log to tell it...

Well, the web-based order site is:

http://korval.com/hetley.html

From which I get a larger percentage than royalty sales -- Steve and Sharon handle my books on consignment, since they're set up for web commerce.

If you don't think that will work out, email me at my public address and I'll send you snail-mail contact and prices:

Done and done

Order in and paid for. I love discretionary spending. Thank you very much for the info, and I'll do my best to find the giveaway books a good home.

As you can see, I decided to slip into the LJ waters as well... I am too impulsive by half. I blame the Nerds-TM that my Secret Santa has been slipping me all week...

Have a good rest of the week.
