Just wanted to let you know that I purchased a paperback copy of Talyn. Since I already own the hard cover, I'm donating it to the Absolute Write auctions, if they'll have it. http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80 Hey Holly.

I'm delighted that you liked it. And maybe... maybe there will be more. The first one, in paperback anyway, seems to be selling. Taymalin—Thank you so much for letting me know.

I don't think there was anything about it that I didn't love. It was supposed to be a "read only on the plane book", but I ended up having to buy a second book for my return flight, because once I picked up Talyn, I couldn't stop reading it. Thank-you so much for writing it, and for keeping it a stand-alone. There are too few good books that aren't part of a series in fantasy, and Talyn was one of the best reads I've had in a long time. I hope all goes well and you can continue to write about the Tonk. They're fascinating. Tay Just had to drop in and say that I absolutely loved this book.

Online is my other option. I use both. I'm not discrediting chains---simply their computerized ordering process, which is killing midlist writers' careers.

Though, I just wanted to say, that I think its a bit unfair to discredit some chains like Barnes and Noble. I always find the most interesting books there. In fact, that's where I found the hardback (Facing out and on a display -though full price) at the end of Last Year. And the paperback was also facing out and on display today when I visited my local bn. Borders on the other hand doesn't keep the choices, fresh, but I think BN is just as good if not better than an indie for finding good books. Anyway, I loved Talyn and hope any parts cut from Hawkspur will be available on your site. (Will make sure to buy copies for my friends for their b-days . . etc.) Best.

Self-publishing lacks means of distribution. You can do it for a hobby, or as a sideline, but you can't live on it. I'm looking at the Lulu model of ISBN, Books-In-Print marketing for my backlist, but by doing this I'd be paying Lulu money to make my backlist books available for chains to order, and I can't get the chains to keep my damned frontlist in stock. Backlist? Please. The whole issue is beyond frustrating. Paul—pretty much what PolarBear said. Self-publishing lacks means of distribution.
