I feel like I am running a marathon and they keep moving the finish line. Most of the anxiety is anticipating the arrival of my book in the mail. It was suppose to arrive on Friday, today is Saturday, but was delayed and now the arrival date is Tuesday. That said, everything is moving in the right direction. The book can now be preordered on Amazon or Bookbaby or any of your favorite bookseller.

Here is something I learned about selling books on Amazon….it is about the click . So even if you don’t purchase the book if you click on it on their site, Amazon keeps track of the clicks. The more clicks the book receives, the higher the ranking of the book and the more books they will have in stock for immediate shipment. So PlEASE check my book on AMAZON.

One other exciting piece of news is that I have been accepted into the Jewish Book Council with my book Leaving Cleveland. What that means is I will be put on their roster of Authors and might even be selected to go on books tours later this year to talk about my book. They have a membership of 70,000 dedicated readers. I am still in the process and will talk about this more, later.

I will be doing 2 book appearance. The first one is in Denver at the Society of Photographic Educators conference on the 18th of March. I am still waiting on the details and will put in in my next post. The second book appearance will be in Cleveland Heights on April 20th at Mac’sBack Book Store from 5 to 7.

There are a couple of other things I am waiting to hear about, one is that Cleveland Magazine is interested on writing an article about my book. I have sent them the E-Book and am awaiting to hear from the writer. The other is a long shot, but the Cultural Editor of NPR asked me to send her my book, “to take a look.” So a lot of exciting things happening and keeping my fingers crossed.

Finally for all my Kickstarter supports, As soon as receive the books in the next two weeks, I will be signing and sending them on to you….hang in there.
