And so it begins. Again.
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
One of the most dismaying things about publishing a book is also one of the most dismaying things about life in general: it's over way too quickly. Or not quickly enough. What I mean is that it's something you anticipate for months, for years and then . . . the day arrives! The book is here. Then: Some people like it, some don't, it sells well but not well-enough, you wish you'd gotten that review in the NYTBR, but then it feels good to hate them . . . so many things happening all it once.
Then: nothing. No readings, no reviews. Bookstores don't even stock it anymore. Oh, well. That's the way it goes . . . and then -- then --
The paperback!
And it's a whole new ballgame. Look for it on the shelves in a little over six months.
 (not the cover, by the way. I tried to upload it and the colors
were all wrong, so I didn't)

Woah. Almost a month of no posting, I already started wondering what happened. Well I'm glad to have purchased the book in hard cover. Will the paperback cover look different? Will it be that original cover you posted awhile back?
Thank heavens for paperbacks!
I rather like the (not the) cover; especially the bite out of the bottom left corner.
