I was at Fry’s Electronics on Saturday, buying a replacement hard drive for one that’s starting to fail (see? Pre-emptive strike!) While there, I browsed over to the books section and found my book Videoblogging for Dummies on the shelf, facing outward… with a marked down price of $15.
I was as excited to find it as I was the second or third time I found one of my books in a store (the first time is unique). It never gets old. Probably if I were a really popular writer who has movie deals and big center-aisle displays and lots of trailing mid-list authors who coattail on their marketing…. then it might get old. I mean, how many times can you walk into a bookstore and squee?
But for the low-list author who’s never sure she’ll find herself on the shelves, it’s always exciting and I always feel a little bit special.
