Thank you!
It's 1:06 a.m. and I'm ranked 435,371 on Amazon. Time to wake up and climb up those charts.
Over three years ago, I started writing my novel, A Stop in the Park, and today I'm releasing it for all to read. What a grand moment! Thank you so much for being part of my beginning.
From September 20 - September 21, I've priced the paper copy of the book as low as Amazon will let me go, which is $13.28. The digital copy (available on Kindle) is priced at $2.99.
Remember, ten percent of all profits will go to The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. I'll keep you posted each month on how much has been donated.

The Back Cover of A Stop in the Park Says:
Michael Stolis, a DC attorney, is frustrated by twelve-hour
work days, tightly scheduled weekends, and his family's chaotic habits. He
explodes over minor irritations like being stuck in traffic, and his tantrums
need to stop. His disillusioned wife, Jamie, is sick of his anger outbursts,
and wants him out of her life. Michael longs to reignite the passionate love
they once felt for each other. Jamie prefers to spend her time fostering
illicit Internet relationships. Michael had simply followed his Greek father's
instructions for a successful life, but something went terribly wrong. A
lucrative career, a Georgetown brownstone and a BMW coupe didn't deliver
happiness as promised.
When his family is about to implode, Michael
finds hope through Rufus, an astute retired bus driver he meets over a game of
blitz chess in Dupont Circle. Michael is intrigued by Rufus's prescription
for fulfillment, but is it too late to
change a life, chase a dream, revive a marriage? Michael must decide how much
he is prepared to lose if he embarks on a quest so very different from the
world he created. Touching, romantic, and deeply provocative, A Stop in the Park, follows the story of
a man and a woman who yearn to escape the trap of the modern American
dream.

What an exciting day for you! This spirit of this post brought a big smile to my face. And your previous post brought nothing but admiration for the way you approached publishing your book. Wishing you much success.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Deborah.
DeletePeggy,
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting. There is nothing like seeing that first book in print. It seems like a long time coming and a lot of hard work, but worth every hour put in. I will never forget the thrill of holding my first book in my hand. It's been just as exciting to publish all of them though.
My best wishes go out to you. I hope you have tons of sales. Now the hard work of promotion begins.
