But I just have only one question to ask you:

WHAT THE FUSS IS YOUR PROBLEM AND WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH A BUG UP YOU BUTT ABOUT THIS? No, seriously. I did something out of a sincere friendly gesture with no hidden agendas and you're acting a pompous ass. Yeah, I said it!!

Climb down off your high horse and get over yourself! *smh*

ETA: I'll be sure to tell the bookstore owners that you can't come by because you're too full of yourself. Excuse me for trying to extend an olive branch of friendship by trying to help put your name out there as a talented author. I sincerely apologize for that.

RM, as you said, she is MY college classmate and you're telling me stuff that EYE already knew about. She and I have already spoken and she never expressed an interest in stocking my books in her store. If she wants to do that, GREAT, WONDERFUL.

Also while I appreciate what anyone, GCer or otherwise does on my behalf to promote my books, your act was not selfless. You're annoying, dude. You have been in the 8 years I have known you on GC and my feelings on that won't change. You probably figured that if you did this, I would forever and ever amen be your friend and in your debt, but no, I pass.

You could have simply told the bookstore about my website and allowed them to contact me, but because I am not falling all over myself with :flowers: and :rockon: and whatever else you were expecting, now I have a stick up my ass? Nope.

I don't live in Columbus. So how the hell am I just going to drop by all willy nilly on the strength of a conversation or two that you had with an owner? And now you are about to go from praises to scorn just because I am not falling over myself to thank you. Dude, been there, done that.

So YOU take the giant stick out of your ass, and you keep it moving. You didn't do this out of some grand act of kindness. You know how I know? Because you would have just done it without telling me and posting about it here on GC.

Now I'm going to do like I normally do on GC and ignore you.

1) Amen.

2) People just don't know what it REALLY takes to get a book in bookstores.

I have one bookstore calling me every six weeks or so asking me when my second book is going to be released -- but they NEVER ask for new copies of my first.

The whole process does not rise and set on random customers saying "Hey, you should carry this book".... I wish it did.

In any case, bookstores know how to contact authors when they really want to.

GOOOOOOOO internet sales!
