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:
