Amy Zmolek asked J.D. Barker:

I am a manager at Dog-Eared Books in Ames, IA. We opened March 8th. In March, I sold 7 copies of The Fourth Monkey. Thus far in April, I have sold 20. The staff is having a great time ringing a bell four times every time we sell a copy! (We are easily entertained). Bell rings 5x for the Fifth to Die, etc. A town in the middle of the midwest is having a great time because you. :) Thoughts?

J.D. Barker Who doesn't like ringing a bell? That's awesome. Maybe it's time to visit Ames, IA. I'm overdue for a road trip and the looming apocalypse seems to be coming to an end :)

Please thank your staff for me. I think books have been an escape for many of us throughout all this and without people like you willing to go in and work, things would have been a far worse.

Best,
jd
