Thanks for swinging by and listening in at In Like Flynn. We hope to be covering more in the way of All Things Social and Sexual in the coming year and hope that you'll join us. On a related note, on January 1st I relaunched ny site, "In Like Flynn" and have posted this Question of the Week! Imagine that a month ago you broke off with your significant other but today you get a call from your best friend saying that your EX has just contacted them and invited them out on a date. How do you react when your friend asks if it would be okay? Do you give your blessing? Do you say absolutely not? Do you have a sneaking suspicion that something has been going on behind your back all along? If this was you...what would you say or do under the circumstances? Come by www.penelopeflynn.com and visit the Flynnspiration Forum and post your thoughts. Also check in on the Books and Stories page to read excerpts and short erotic fiction by Penelope Flynn! Again Otto and I look forward to seeing you Saturday night 11:30pm CST!

    The truth about bookstore sales


    Bookstores. Ah…the Holy Grail for the independently published author. How many lamentations, teeth gnashing, prayers have gone out to have bookstores–any bookstore, it didn’t matter–carry their novel/baby in their store?


    But should this be?


    I decided to do a bit of research on book store sales trends. Guess what I found? Book store sales are actually declining and internet sales, including books, are increasing.

    In fact, as I browsed more, wanting to get a clearer picture of this situation, I found this statement from a typical teenage consumer in a blog about books:


    As high school students with busy lives, going to a bookstore is just not part of our schedule. It isn’t that we don’t want to read, but with schoolwork, sports, and personal life, not enough time is left open to both find interesting books, as well as read them. Understanding different generations like ours is the key to making the age differences less obvious.


    What does this mean for the independently-published author? It means maybe we need to focus on that computer in all our homes versus the book store manager that won’t return our call. All your energy could be placed on advertising that great novel versus begging a store to give it a shot.


    I can’t speak for anyone else, but upgrading my site and adding a cart was paramount to stay in this publishing game. It’s not that expensive and the returns are worth the money.


    Think about it.


    Until next time…

    Sydney
