I am still lookin' for a literary agent for my book. However, I have so far made $10 minus whatever the costs of printing all the stuff out on paper totals. I had a couple of sets of about the first 50 pages sitting around and have had a couple of people that I talked to about the book take them. Over the past two days, both have returned tellin' me that they were ready for the rest of the story. I said you can have it for $5. Both paid. Denita has read the complete story and was already clamoring to see the second book. I am tellin' ya'll this is a blockbuster and some literary agent better get enthusiastic about it. I actually am currently conversin' with someone who has met my absolute favorite current author, Patricia Cornwell, in person. In the spirit of Bloggers Helpin' Bloggers, I was just tryin' to give a fellow blogger the first crack at this opportunity.

Posted by: Jim at May 5, 2004 01:53 PMYou obviously need to raise the price for looking at the second half. Try raising your price to $25. If you continue to have a 100% take rate, raise it again. Continue until the take rate diminishes to 66%.
In the meantime, I hope you find an agent.
Posted by: Evan at May 5, 2004 10:17 PMI am impressed. I knew you had at least one book in you, but I didn't know you were so far along.
With the traffic you generate on your weblogs, you should have little problem publicising your new book.
There are a lot of new working models for publish on demand and print on demand publishing. Since a new author has to do the bulk of the promotion anyway, you may find that you are in the right spot to sell your book in volume using one of these new publishing models.
This is NOT considered a vanity printing and your books will appear in Amazon.com if you choose. Furthermore, my understanding is that a track record with a self-published book can open doors to a book contract later.
I am looking forward to the time when I can say, "I knew Tiger before he was famous!"
Go for it!
