Although it may look like other UPPAA authors/publishers have had it all together from the beginning, let us, for one, assure you that it isn’t so.
We well remember one HOT August afternoon at the former Charing Cross, eh? bookstore in Munising when not one even slightly interested/curious soul came back where we were (trying to) smile and offer our UP books for sale. And outdoor shows??? We do pretty well at some, not so well at others…but have collected many, many funny, and not so funny, stories of questions, potential customers, windstorms, rain events, but also good connections with other vendors and good meetings with fairgoers.

Sounds like you have it on track….keep on keeping on!

]]> Comment on Science Fiction by Kathy Klos http://uppaa.org/book-catalog/adult-fiction/science-fiction/#comment-53 Sun, 22 May 2011 23:01:30 +0000 http://uppaa.org/?page_id=724#comment-53 “Storyteller” was reviewed by Reader Views, and this is the portion of the review following a synopsis of the plot:

“The Storyteller” is a wonderfully written science fiction type fantasy novel. I loved how Maryan managed to see the best in others, and she also helped to bring out the best in them. Of all her gifts, that is probably the greatest one of all. I also appreciated that wherever she found herself, she did the best to accept her circumstances and make the most of them. I think there is a huge lesson in that for most readers, including myself. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by this author in the future. Paige Lovitt for Reader Views

Looks great. If anyone wants to read my books and doesn’t mind a computer-version, just email me and I’ll send them to you… I’m mostly interested in “being read”!
