Congrads to you Stu! Great job, you should be proud! Sometimes I feel like my book is never going to get done. Then who would want to read it?! I read that Stephen KIng was turned down 75 times before he ever got his first book published! Sounds like an exageration to me, but who knows???
I thought the same thing. I gave up a few times. I figured nobody would care and it'd do horrible. You just have to try. I lucked out and got a publisher on my second attempt. From what I'm seeing that's almost unheard of.
I only know about the same 4 right now. I got an invitation to go to the Collingswood Book Festival yesterday, so I guess that counts too.
Bayville boy does good - nice 
I mis-spent my youth there in 1972-73 when I worked at OCC 
It's great to see a payoff from all the hard work.

You have permanantly left your mark in this world Stu. It is quite an accomplishment, and something you have to be very proud of. All the doubts have been washed away, and life is more complete for you. This has elevated the meaning and reward of persistance to a very high level in your mind, I'll bet. Good for you! 
PS: its not about the money, I know that. And that, my friend, is what makes it really special.

Good article Stu, nice to see your project come to life and get noticed.
Probably inspiring to others who have "quit" on books along the trail.
Good luck in your future plans.

As one author writing to another, I know exactly how you feel when you see your work in print. Bully for you!!! Congrats! I hope to pick up a copy of your book soon for my library collection and I will see you in Collingswood on 6 October.
Best regards,
Jerseyman

Which B&N? If they don't have it, you might have to ask them to order it. Echelon Mall didn't carry it until my friend went there and asked them to order it. I even got a signing out of it when she said she knew me.
FYI the B&N on 6th and 21st in Manhattan did not have your book.
Not that I expected them to, but it would have been nice. Hopefully the one in Brick will have it.
