Blog Book Tour: Judy
Judy asks:
Now that you are established as an author, is your publisher interested in another book lifted directly from your blog?
Because I am very, very lazy, I had thought the first book was going to be lifted directly from the blog, and this made me happy. But then I spoke to my editor and learned that books lifted directly from blog don't sell as well, what with already being available for free, and my publishers were a little more excited about new material than I was. This was annoying to me, as I felt I had pretty much blathered anything worth blathering already. Luckily, I had a year to cough up some more ruminations. Very little of this book has seen the light of day prior to this.

I have a long commute between work and home, and rely on audiobooks (particularly audible.com) to keep up with my 'reading'. I would love to 'listen' to your book. Has this form of publication been given any consideration?
THAT is EXACTLY what someone told me today. WHy pay for something when it's FREE?
Hm. very interesting point.
I'm re-thinking my book proposal.
