Clap your hands if you believe. A publisher just sent me a contract to publish "Laws & Loves, Real Stories of the Rattlesnake Lawyer" online. In Peter Pan, Peter and the Lost Boys never grew up in Neverland, Neverland. There's a chance that this might be my one way ticket out of Never Neverland. Or then again, there might be no way out.
I have the kindle app on my phone. Many of you have the kindle app on your phone. I can read my book while waiting to go through a metal detector at a public building. If you are behind me you can ask me what I'm reading. I can say it's my book. You can then download my book and have it on your phone by the time you get to the other side of the metal detector. I will have made 99 cents or so as I get scanned regardless of whether I beep or not. I actually might beep for irony.
And hopefully while you are waiting in line tomorrow, the process will repeat. Clap your hands indeed.
But I might be living in my own private Never Neverland. There is no guarantee that at ebook will sell or make it out of the big time. There certainly is no guarantee that I will make money. We had nearly a thousand free downloads of Rattlesnake Lawyer, but that has only led to a few downloads since then, by few, I mean a handful or in Captain Hook's case, a hook full. (I do have an image of Captain Hook and Edward Scissorhands texting each other, but that's a story for another time."
So I am not clapping too hard. Yet...
