Richard Due's Blog: Delusions of Grandeur? - Posts Tagged "barnes-and-noble"
Good news for Moon Realm fans! Baker & Taylor has picked up Gibbering Gnome Press as a vendor.
Which means . . . after I slay a thousand forms, hire TRON to break into B&N's catalog system, kill the witch, and bring back the broom to Oz . . . after all that . . . The Moon Coin is headed for Barnes & Noble!
Here's how it happened: back in the fall, Barnes and Noble sent me a letter saying they wanted to carry The Moon Coin in their brick and mortar bookstores. The problem is that B&N doesn't acquire books from publishers and authors, they get them from distributors and wholesalers.
Well, this week I heard back from Baker & Taylor. I'VE GOT THE BROOM AND I'M HEADING BACK TO OZ! My book is going to be available to B&N, (among many other bookstores), and a 95% of all libraries!
I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get back to Oz, though. A couple months maybe? There's just never a roving band of blood-thirsty flying monkeys around when you need one. Have you ever noticed that? But when I do get back, and into the Barnes & Noble catalog, B&Ns everywhere will be able to stock the series!
I've already heard from one B&N children's dept manager who says she already has a special display in mind. She also plans to put up posters! Yikes!
One B&N store down, 722 to go.
In other news, I'm back up on Google Plus:

UPDATE: I got a letter from my Barnes and Noble rep today, confirming that, in addition to ordering copies of The Moon Coin, their book buyer has approved The Dragondain! Which means both Moon Realm books are now headed for the Mothership's brick and mortar stores! Woot!
