Not easy to find = rare?

Can’t seem to find paper copies of BEAUTY in the stores. None of my friends have found it in their stores and none of the searches I’ve done have turned it up either.

But by some quirk of fate (or me asking at the store), my local Borders got a few copies in. I stopped over today with my daughter and saw two on the shelf. I signed them and the clerk put a sticker on them.

Here’s a picture of me holding the books:

As to WHY they aren’t anywhere yet — I don’t know. When my first book came out with Samhain back in 2007, they took a few weeks to get into stores, but they were OUT THERE somewhere. The distribution is no where NEAR what most Mass Market books are/were, but I still felt I had a decent showing.

This time I don’t know what’s going on. I spent more money on promotion (including an ad in Romance Sells, which goes directly to book buyers) and yet three plus weeks after release, they aren’t sitting on a shelf in a brick and mortar store.

My contest is still open. Who ever sends me a picture of BEAUTY TEMPTS THE BEAST on a bookstore shelf will get a gift card to their store of choice. SO KEEP LOOKING!!
