People Poll Results

The people poll results were overwhelming; 84% of you think I should go with another agent, rather than try to do it myself. So, that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll be taking another look at the manuscript this week, putting together a new query, and sending it out.

It’s disappointing on one hand, since I didn’t think I’d be back to the query line on this particular manuscript, but heartening at the same time—anything could happen.

So, if anyone knows of an agent who’s looking for a new supernatural thriller trilogy, let me know—I’ll take all the help I can get.

People Poll

I had an experience last week I wanted to blog about. A man who owns an independent bookstore, who we’ll call Andy, contacted me on Twitter to tell me that, unless I started linking to Indiebound.org, instead of Amazon, he would no longer be able to follow or support me. He also sent me an email, reiterating his request/demand.

Huh.

My background so far with independent bookstores has not been the best. As an author, I’ve given up contacting them regarding signings, since I’m usually treated like a telemarketer and hung up on. Even Andy forgot that, when I contacted him to do a signing many moons ago, he kept putting me off, even after I mailed him a free copy of my book for his consideration. After a while, I just gave up.

Plus, I like Amazon. They take care of me. They send me my books cheaply and quickly, and if I have a problem, it’s corrected within a day.

But my opinion isn’t what matters; yours is. You’re the person who will be buying and reading my book, and so I have a question for you. I’ve put up a poll on the right, asking if you’d rather buy from an independent source or from Amazon. If I get a fair margin of people who tell me they’d prefer to buy independent, I’ll add links to my blog and website.

Thanks!
