That's terrific! And thank you for a great article on what works for you, and why. I also believe that in these tough times, folks are going to be looking for a respite and an escape. Comedy is definately going to be winner, but I think anything (such as your Scots hero!) that can allow a reader to just get away for a bit is going to do well. A book is inexpensive entertainment!Pat Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504384877378711476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-38288802237966223902009-02-25T09:01:00.000-05:002009-02-25T09:01:00.000-05:00I've read where fiction sales were up over the las...I've read where fiction sales were up over the last few months as the economy took a nose dive and I remember Lisa Kleypas' keynote speech at a conference I was at. (Paraphrasing) After her/her mom's home was destroyed by a hurricane, they went out to buy essential supplies, splitting up in the store to get the shopping done quicker. When they met up at the register counter, each one had bought a romance. THOSE were essential supplies. :)Judi Fennellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913199632952461638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-32015978905665906742009-02-25T08:27:00.000-05:002009-02-25T08:27:00.000-05:00It's interesting that you say romanctic comedy sal...It's interesting that you say romanctic comedy sales will surge in the current climate.
