"Well, at Least I Tried..."

Several weeks ago my friend Joe, whom I know from my gym and book club, told me about a relatively new bookstore in Provincetown called East End Books Ptown. He suggested that I check it out online and contact the owner, requesting that he order my book for his store. I did check it out, got on its email list and wrote a very nice letter to Jeff Peters, the owner, asking him to consider having my novella in his store. I never heard from him. I mentioned this to Joe. He said that when he recently visited the store while on vacation, Peters did not recognize my name nor my book's title. Joe suggested that I send a second email. I did this past Monday and still have not received a response. So, Barry, take the high road and breathe. Shakespeare & Co. is opening in my neighborhood. Hopefully I'll have better luck there and a more positive interaction.
