My hands were tied until a book-listing glitch was cleared up between my publisher and Barnes & Noble, though. I was the one who discovered the glitch when I started trying to schedule signings, and I was sending anxious emails every few days to my publisher saying "the clock is ticking!" until the problem was solved. Once it was, I immediately got on the phone to bookstores. I'm now talking to my third choice locations for Portland & Seattle and am hoping I find stores with time in their schedule. Plan ahead, authors!Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-32140742025839076092009-04-20T17:49:00.000-06:002009-04-20T17:49:00.000-06:00Beth, I thought this blog was very helpful, thanks...Beth, I thought this blog was very helpful, thanks.
