Gee-when you become the next Pat Conroy I might even claim you as my brother-in-law-just kiddin-since you're a younger version of my husband and best friend, it's sorta hard to disown you. I don't know anything about publishing-how expensive is it to have more publish at a time? I'm assuming you won't have the isbn cost, or maybe the initial publishing cost, so how many more do you need to sell to get at a break even and become for profit? Also, did you get the e-mail at for Books On Main that I sent you? They do about 4 or 5 book readings/signings a year. It’s a nice problem to have.
