Randy,
What a perfect analogy- feeling like you tripped in a race. Oof. I’m so sorry. I bought your book through Sony Reader’s bookstore as an e-book, and I’m truly enjoying it. I love your blog. My novel also deals with domestic violence… I appreciate that your blog touches on this subject as well. Anyway, I think writers and readers ought to boycott Amazon! How dare they?

Hi Randy,

I’m a fellow Macmillan author. My debut novel, THE TALE OF HALCYON CRANE, is coming out March 30. I feel your pain and your panic, and I’ll march to my local B & N this afternoon to pick up a copy of your book, and tell all my friends to do the same.

Hang in there!

Thanks, Therese. The support I’m receiving from friends is what’s the silver lining here. And everyone reading this should read THE LAST WILL OF MOIRA LEAHY!

Randy,

It’s an awful situation that may well impact debut novelists more than anyone. Here’s to hoping Amazon straightens things out soon. You have a wonderful book on your hands, and I know you’ll rebound from this.

Thanks Ben. Macmillan/St.Martin’s has been nothing but great–and in the long run, it’s really a good thing for writers.

Hi Randy,

What an unfortunate headache this has been! I’ve got a feeling this will all be resolved very shortly! Here’s to hoping!

Hi Miriam! Thanks for your good and reassuring words. Very comforting. And here you are in the midst of your paperback release. Everyone: get THE LOCAL NEWS by Miriam Gershow!! Wonderful book. In fact, I will tweet it and FB it before turning in.

Hey, let me know if you ever want to guest post here, Miriam!
