Who's distributing it for you? Isn't this the time of year the booksellers are ordering for Christmas? Got a good rep? Get someone to take it to ABA in May!
When my copy comes in, I'll let you all know how long it took..I can't wait to read it...I consider these excerpts to be a bit mean...ya just get me interested, and it ends!!! Curses! Make the excerpts longer! (Yeah, I could probably just order the e-book, huh?)
I do not make anything on the shipping and handling that these other companies charge. When I ship it I cover the cost plus my time ... but my shipping cost involves getting it to me and then to the purchaser so it is a little higher.
Lightning Source (owned by Ingrahm) is distributing it to some, like Amazon and Barnes and Nobles), Content Reserves is distributing to other channels.
