Hi Carolyn,

Thank you for taking the time to be with us. I appreciate your help and look forward to reading your book very soon.

We hear a lot these days about the Print on Demand shops that are cropping up around the country and how that's an avenue for new authors since the publishing world is so innundated with people who want to get published. I'm curious if you have any insight into how POD books are really perceived by book store managers and others "in the know" in the publishing world. I once had a book store manager tell me that she would not allow POD authors to hold signings in her store. There still seems to be so much stigma around POD/self-publishing even though all of us can think of examples of wonderful authors who had to get their start that way, and some of the POD companies boast that many of their authors ink traditional contracts after their POD book has sold X number of copies.

Thanks in advance for your comments, and continued succcess with all your endeavors.

Best regards,
Kelly
