One of the questions I asked Editors and Agents was about the Indy Book Stores. Over the last year, I’ve heard so many writers and illustrators voice their concern about the stores future. We’ve seen some of our favorite book stores shut their doors and every publishing professional knows how lost we would be without them out there to help promote our books, so I had to ask.

Can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear such a positive response :)
Great news!
I will fall into a deep depression if don’t survive. I owe so much of my (relative) success today to local indie stores who were willing to promote an unknown author.
