It will no doubt go out of print soon. <br /><br />BTW, I met you years ago T B&N and bought a signed copy of George Upside Down which we love!Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1157672844337982482006-09-07T19:47:00.000-04:002006-09-07T19:47:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Libby Koponenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508041827996196293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1157662767003199352006-09-07T16:59:00.000-04:002006-09-07T16:59:00.000-04:00Meghan, I meant to tell you--I stopped by B&N in U...Meghan, I meant to tell you--I stopped by B&N in Union Square on Tuesday night for a bit, and read <EM>Steal Back the Mona Lisa</EM> and LOVED it. I thought it was so fun and creative and engaging, and incredibly special. I love the art, and thought the design of the book was really cool, too. <BR/><BR/>Reviews are tough, though. I take them personally, too. That's the industry. As for the marketing yourself...I think it's important to do it. It may not come naturally, but a lot of things don't. Baby steps!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on baby #5!alvinalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503984086482905226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1157660687478901302006-09-07T16:24:00.000-04:002006-09-07T16:24:00.000-04:00Oh Meghan, I hear you and I totally relate!! I've ...Oh Meghan, I hear you and I totally relate!! I've always been more embarrised than proud to show people my books, and I would much sooner change the subject when it comes up. When people used to asked me what I did for a living, sometimes I would just tell them about some part time teaching job so I didn't have to explain it all...<BR/><BR/>This has changed for me a little bit though in recent years. Maybe it was seeing my first book go out of print that started to shift things around a little. It just gave me a little perspective into what can happen if you don't stick up for your books, and yourself really. I'm not going to pretend I'm anything I'm not, but I AM proud of my work when it comes down to it, and I think I have something important to say. And so do you Meghan!<BR/><BR/>I didn't mean this as a pep talk, just that I know how you feel. And also that I think that while feeling that way might always be part of the equation, I'm sure you also have feelings of pride and confidence somewhere in there too that will come out in the right circumstances.Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.com
