We used the rest of our PayPal account today to buy more copies of Ginger Snaps: Photos & Stories, i.e., our book. Like I said in an earlier post, when we raised money to publish, most Backers put their money into our PayPal account. We figured we could print 70 books out of PayPal moola and we have. Promise kept, all you wonderful Backers! From now on as needed, we'll print 10 at a time out of our own money, reimbursing ourselves as they sell, on our way to selling 100 copies by New Year's. That's our goal: a limited edition of 100.
We do have one gig past New Year's already scheduled though: the Noe Valley Authors Festival in March. Back in the hood, as you know from another earlier post. Very cool. Hope we still have books.
To find out where we're reading/showing photos next, check out the events listing a droit. Several people have nagged--uh, asked me to do this. Tough love but love just the same. As you can see, next stop on the Ginger Choo Choo is New York, New York. Yeah, baby! Back in the Big Apple! I'm a Brooklyn transplant and David's from Upstate (Westchester). Point of contention. David doesn't think Westchester is Upstate but from a Brooklyn point of view, dude, it's way UP!
Blue Light Special! Kmart shoppers, we sell books and tees at discount prices at Ginger Choo Choo stops. No comea to the event, no getta the discount. We will start selling them online in January (if any are left). We'll know we're hot when copies start showing up used on Amazon and eBay for twice blurb.com's price.
And, if you only read electronically, we will also start selling the ebook edition in January. Also applies if you're just plain cheap--er--thrifty.
Have a great weekend. Read a book!
