Girls I hope you get your copies soon too....I just wrote my publisher and suggested they contact the distributors to see WHAT's WHAT... I hate that people have to wait forever to get their copies!!! [Frown] [Frown] [Frown]

Good Morning Boomer Book Babes! I heard from my publisher yesterday and wanted to share some info with you that I did NOT know...maybe because I'm a "novice" when it comes to this whole book-writing/selling/promoting thing. I wanted to know WHY people were being told by Amazon, etc. that they were "out of stock" of my book when it has JUST come out! I'm told that with a new author, they don't stock hundreds of books, only 10 or so because we "novices" have no track record to speak of...they don't know how quickly the book might sell and don't want to overstock. BUT I'm also told that they SHOULD be able to re-stock VERY quickly from the distributors. In other words, if you are being told 3-5 weeks wait - it won't be that long...that's just what they tell you.

I hope this is correct....I know how frustrating it is to order something and be told "nope - you have to wait!!!"....that's especially irritating when you are ordering a GIFT for someone...but can be JUST as irritating when you're ordering something for yourself.....SO again, I'm sorry some of you are having to wait to get "The Mystery of David's Bridge". Hopefully by the time my mystery series is on the second/third book I'll be so popular they will have TONS on hand??????? (WISHFUL THINKING) [Razz] [Razz]

Hi Maggie....! I love mysteries too - have since I was a kid. The old Nancy Drew mysteries were my favorite and I guess I've always wanted to write my own. I'm about 1/3 finished with the second in the series and STILL enjoying it so I guess that's a good sign..... [Big Grin]

I also wanted to tell everyone who has ordered the book (and again thanks from my heart!) that there was NO professional editing done on it...AND you can tell...I'm sure an editor would have had me do a LOT of things differently - and caught many mistakes that my "editing helpers" as well as myself didn't. Still, all in all, I hope those things don't detract from peoples' enjoyment of the story. I suppose you all will tell ME that when you read it!

Pam, don't know if you saw the post, but I'm wiating for my order too. I ordered 3 books to get the FREE shipping and none have arrived. I haven't gotten an e-mail form them wither which I think is odd.

We'll get on with the show as soon as we get our books. [Wink] Not to worry...

This is a good lesson for all of us.

Hi Sherri! I'm so glad your book finally arrived.....AND thanks for saying that you enjoyed the beginning. I'm very happy to get some feedback at last, and I'll be anxious to hear your impressions as you read it. [Wink]

Thanks for posting this update - I've been hoping that people are finally getting their copies. [Big Grin]
