In my deepest, darkest most private thoughts, I’ve been bemoaning the shift from actual books in bookstores to online discount sellers or ebooks.  For me, bookstores are hallowed places.  It makes me sad to see one after another closing doors, laying off staff, going smaller.  But after this past week, I have a new perspective on things.

What changed?  My book, OyMG, hit the shelves.  As it turned out, more figuratively than literally.  About 10 days after launch, one Indy bookstore is sold out and two nearby bookstores have yet to receive their first copies.

And that’s the good news.
