I'm sure your sharp wit has helped too
Mona, I don't want to sound immodest, but I think that could well explain the third copy. I know, I'm blowing my own trumpet again, but I just can't help it. This has been a good month.
Three extra copies, you are absolutely destroying my sales figures, lol!
I'm sorry. I know you're envious, but maybe you'll sell three extra copies next month. If you keep on using Ask the Author, anyway.
I'm sorry Mary. I checked your profile, and I know now that my jealous nature will not let me share you with Colin Morgan and Strongbody Apparel. It was not meant to be.
I just tried to sell you a few more copies, but I can't find any $ 2.99 kindles on Amazon, and I am too stingy to buy the paperbacks.
Which of your books might be comprehensible for a language-challenged, mediocre-educated ESL-reader, suffering from a mild case of dementia?
Forgot to mention: Same reader and potential book-buyer is also a 105% computer idiot.
Several non-geeks have claimed to enjoy What Pooh Might Have Said to Dante. It is really designed to be experienced in printed form, but the PDF version available from Lulu books is, I believe, readable on a Kindle. Sort of.
Two extra copies?!? THREE? That's unheard of in recent decades. Are you sure they are fully sold, covers and all?
I was considering buying half of page 22... but now I'm not so sure anymore.
Augustin, don't rush into anything you'll regret later.
I meant no disrespect, kind sir. It's just that I'm absolutely impressed with the results this feature brings to the good authors everywhere.
I was actually wondering... what if the feature is to be expanded in the realm of Skype (or other such services)? You know, "Ask the Author Live and Hear the Answer" (AtA 2.0). I am ready to bet (half a hamburger and a cracked boiled egg) that it has the potential to double your sales. (Maybe triple? That'll be dangerously close to breaking the two-digit units sold mark...)
In any case I wish you all the best and happy holidays!
Augustin, now I feel I need to defend myself. I will have you know that I have made literally hundreds of dollars out of my books. I was just modestly downplaying my achievements. But your Skype suggestion is well taken.
Thank you Eme. I am sure you must be one of my two customers, you seem like such a nice person.
Dear Miss Fatou,
Buy one of my books, then we'll discuss your interesting offer. This is not a trick.
Yours, Manny
LOL I appreciate your sense of humor.
Adriana, according to my calculations that means there is a 0.039% chance you will buy a copy of one of my books. I live in hope.
Manny, I think you need to answer more questions. At least one question a day keeps you visible. And, I suggest you nominate your book for monthly reads. You might even sell four copies!
Carol, if only I could afford you, I'd hire you as my agent. I'm going to try out that free sample right now.
Yeah, just looking for a spot to convey a message. i think you know there are so many musicians, arts, writers, that captivate our hearts for a moment in time, most when we're through traumatic transitions in life. I love to elaborate on scenes. This one is "Where Rivers Runs" or "Tip Toe Dancer":

Any room left here. Don't know how to overturn the parasites... so I pursue some of the beautiful things and attribute to they accolades. Do you remember the innocence of who we are tripping. I can't get my head around it, but there really is, there really is a benevolent creator and his intermediaries. Muses of pure love that intercede, who bring everything you hope for into perspective, if even for a subtle glimpse. Although I and you willl find then persistently whooing you. They don't answer your questions directly, in directly, they comfort you spirit and teach things of substance. They unwind the conflicts, as much as you choose to fight against their counsel, while you wonder. I get overwhelmed with life probably because getting to truth requires effort. I think you could astound me and I think I could astound you, send me a message. I'm for people who people who like to explore life as it is, which then beckons for some kind of anchoring. Been a long time since I've tripped, I seem to be trying to assimilate the experiences both in a hereafter contexts, more so as an artist counter measure or what I use while I'm digesting 5:00 news. I used to get lost in the ceramic room playing with clay and awaiting the kiln glazing results. I'm so belligerently sarcastic of the world system, I've grown weary of my own voice.
What to hold on to or what to stand against.... it makes me sad honestly. Maybe I just gravitate to what's fucked up and compelled to fix it. I like fixing practically that are broken, And someone told that you gravitate to the broken, wounded girls to try to fix them. Honestly, I barely made a dent--with all the power of ,want to help,/I> and positive moment. I think though I left an impression. Don't know the potential. It won't be published, but I typing this out as if it could be a passage in a novel, but that's far away from. I'm thinking away from this fucked world that I could if there were a reasonable assembly of people to conscious evaluate the essence of the contexts; I'd rather spend my time watching them collecting maple syrup form un blemished maple trees and be served pancakes, eggs, hash browns and listen to stories from the heart of New England!
Are you satisfied that the Quran is marked Anonymous. The Quran and the Bible are all from Allah. Except that the Quran has not been falsified and the Bible has been. It is proven that the latter has been distorted to serve some interests. So why so many versions?
They have tried to do the same with the Quran, but it never works. Because, for centuries, it is in the heart of Muslims.
Yes I'm a Muslim, I solemnly ask the host to kindly put the Quran, as being from Allah. You cannot insult more than one billion and half people worldwide. The problem is not with the Quran. It is with the Bible. The solution is found for the Quran. You cannot, by failing to find a solution for the Bible, remove the already found solution for the Quran. It is unfair, unjust and a partisan position . Unfairness never lead to truth.
Calling yourself a brave man, what you are very far from being, is just demagogic. Let others qualify you. If people do not answer you, it does not mean that you are right. It means that they may be sorry for you. Racists and refractory people should stop. You may need a psychiatrist.
Bumping this, in hopes that you get at least another half-sale.
