I'm crushed. Crushed!<br /><br />Thanks, Katherine. Five hits isn't bad, you'll get that all-important page-1 placement.<br /><br />Icy, that's a good point. Except for maybe Tony, I think most of us commenting aren't too crowded in the author name-space.<br /><br />Sonia, good point. I sometimes wonder if the returns I've had on <i>Accidental Sorcerers</i> are because of that other book. Click that first title, go "oops," return. Maybe some people keep it and read it… and I hope they enjoyed it if they did.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-69568625449914112052014-11-29T13:15:19.886-05:002014-11-29T13:15:19.886-05:00Yep!

Maybe it will wind up being the final title after all.Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-59180698780147214522014-11-28T11:45:53.980-05:002014-11-28T11:45:53.980-05:00Pretty much any title with "Blood " is a...Pretty much any title with "Blood " is already taken.Tony Nolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090583562737225942noreply@blogger.com
