That's a tasty menu of murder and mayhem (;>)

[Carole]

It sure is, Theodore.

[Carole]

I know. ;)

[Groovy]

Oh my goodness, Carole:) Thank-you!

[Carole]

It has to be tweaked. I am going to get her to reduce the colors- to save on printing. ;)

[Christine]

Back in January, Carole told us about Books On The Subway. I contacted them and my book drops on the subway today!!

[Amy]

That's exciting Christine.

[Erica]

That is so exciting Christine!

Thanks everyone! I'm very excited about this.
I retweeted a tweet they posted this morning with a photo of my book in Astoria.

Something good! Going to NY City for four days in April... looking for 'off the beaten tourist trail' suggestions. Been there a couple of times and done all the usual touristy stuff so looking for new inspirations! Bookista stuff like favourite book store, favourite author hangout, favourite poetry slam venue, favourite famous writer house etc welcome!

I may be more quiet on Goodreads for a while (see profile pic :)). If I downloaded your book, I will get to it, but maybe not as quickly. I noticed I have a promotion running in the UK without actually promoting it, and without promotion no sales. Oh well...

[Brittney]

Check it out! Illustrator, Mati Arkova, took these pictures at the Bologna Children's Book Fair! Bologna Children's Book Fair

Great stuff, well done."
That's great news!!

[Groovy]

I love hearing everyone's good news. CONGRATULATIONS!

[Ember-Raine]

Awesome news everyone! My something good is that I was approved for a thunderclap campaign for the Facebook Hop that I am cohosting with Amanda Siegrist (there is still time to host a stop btw!) within the first two hours of posting it everywhere I could think of (including here!) we already have 22% supported!!! The hop is two weeks from today on the day that my new book comes out! Super excited in case you couldn't tell lol!

[Amy]

That's brilliant, well done to everyone with awesome news.

[Amy]

Aw well done. How lovely. (I received a rejection from a blogger. Yay me.)

[Aislinn]

Sorry to hear, Amy. :(

But that's great news, Alex. Fanmail! I haven't got any of that, so you're well ahead of me. :)

[Aislinn]

Lol, I've had a shithouse day, so I won't hold my breath.

Smart! I include website, facebook, twitter, goodreads and newsletter link and already fear that divides attention too much. But maybe it's not a bad idea...

[Aislinn]

Yeah, I also put the list of my titles, plus the chapter for the next book (or the previous one, depending if it's ready!)

Thanks! I'm going to go to bed soon and hopefully sleep off my bad mood. Fingers crossed tomorrow is a better day.

[Aislinn]

Lol! Thanks

[Groovy]

Good for you, Alex.

Amy, I'm with Alex--Boo! Boo! But we can all identify:)

Aislinn, hope your day is better!

[Aislinn]

Something good happened today! Amazon finally accepted the short story I've been trying to publish for weeks. (They sent it back like 4 times it was super annoying)

So yay!

[Groovy]

Good news, Aislinn!

[Aislinn]

Thanks!

[Carole]

Great news!!

[Carole]

I had some weird, but exciting thing happen today. Everywhere I went on the internet, Amazon was advertising my book Pepper Parrot's Problem with Patience. I wonder if I was the only one they were promoting it too? lol

[Aislinn]

Haha Amazon have been advertising my own books to me as well. Hopefully they are to other people, too. :p

[Aislinn]

Nice! Glad Amazon are coming through for me. :D

[Carole]

Do you see a difference in sales, Aislinn?

[Aislinn]

Not more than what's in the normal range of sales. How about you?

[[deleted user]]

Please let me know if you see an ad for my book. I have a countdown deal this werk and havent seen a thing on Amazon or in their mails...or is that usual?

[Aislinn]

Ruth, I don't think Amazon advertises Countdown deals much, but I could be wrong. I never used one during my brief period in Select.

I believe that Amazon just buys ad space across multiple sites, and the ads that you see are all based on your individual browsing. Hence, because I've been to my own book page a lot, that's what they show me. I'm guessing it's the same for you, Carole. They wouldn't show that same ad to someone that hadn't browsed the page before.

Thanks Ainslin. Its my first one, so still learning as I go along.
