In the timeline of exciting things that happen when a book
is in the pipeline to be published, the day it shows up on Amazon is right up
there for thrills. Somehow, everything feels that much more real, seeing the
book up on the computer screen with a price (which I assume will be discounted at
some point).
And this is its best moment up there, really, before the
one-star reviews get posted, berating me for using a curse word or angry because this isn't a book about Heaven; before the used copies show up for a penny each; before I
see that readers who viewed my book also viewed some book/author I despise;
before there’s a cheesy pedi-perfect electronic foot file ad cluttering up the
page—oh wait, that’s already happening, there at the bottom.
Anyway, here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/This-Angel-Chest-Heinz-Prize/dp/0822944421/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1434651394&sr=1-4&keywords=leslie+pietrzyk
Pre-order if you feel inspired to do so, but also feel free
to wait and put in a request from your favorite independent bookstore and/or
library. Even better: BOTH! (But stay away from that foot file…it looks like
the thing that buzzes scarily to life in a Stephen King novel!)
