I’m Just the Author
on December 9, 2010
I had a funny conversation with a very nice lady the other night. Thought I’d share.
Nice Lady: So, you’re the gal who wrote the book on vampires.
Me: Yes.
NL: I like vampires. I saw your cover. You did a good job on that.
Me: I really like the cover, too. But I didn’t do the cover. Kensington did the cover.
NL: Oh. Well, it’s pretty. And I really liked the back cover – it makes your book sound fun.
Me: Thanks. But I didn’t write the back cover. The marketing department at Kensington did.
NL: Oh. But aren’t you the writer?
Me: I think so. But I don’t know much about marketing.
NL: Well, at least you got to choose the name. FATED is a really creative name.
Me: Ah………
NL: You didn’t choose the name?
Me: Um, not exactly.
NL: Are you sure you’re the writer, dear?
Me: Pretty sure. (Though I was feeling a bit confused at this time.)
NL: Okay. (Sounding just a bit doubtful.) So, I have a Kindle. Will FATED be on Kindle?
Me: (On all that is holy.) I have no idea. Sure, probably, but I’m not sure when.
NL: Well, this is just your first book. I’m sure you’ll get better at this, dear.
Me: Thank you, I’ll sure try. 🙂
