I designed the cover, published it, and marketed it as best I could. It made the top 3500 on Kindle! I know that sounds like not much, but when you consider my book BIG IN JAPAN is around #1,600,000, 3500 seems a lot higher. I was really pleased with its success, and it made me want to crank out more fun romance novels in the months to come.

I pointed out that as a burn victim, he knew the meaning of pain beyond anything I had ever experienced. Fred replied, "Yes, but what I really learned is that the greatest pain I have ever felt is what I am feeling at the moment. When I stub my toe, it hurts like the dickens and at that moment, that is the greatest pain I have ever felt."<br />Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090777580368847339.post-54368638200884164912014-09-02T12:33:01.544-07:002014-09-02T12:33:01.544-07:003 or maybe 4 sentences: “Adverse selection,” he ...3 or maybe 4 sentences: “Adverse selection,” he said, clicking his keyboard so another PowerPoint slide appeared on the large screen at the front of the room, “is when you do business with people you would be better off avoiding.”<br />What was that he said? Would it be adverse selection for me to go and try talking to Principal Jordan? Avoiding him probably would be the smarter idea. Oh wait, Mr. Shriver is talking about economics, not my problems, not murder investigations. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363270752138692784noreply@blogger.com
