Swansong Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I went to my local B&N today to purchase bookplates, and geez...they don't even carry them anymore. I realize they are kind of old fashioned, but book lovers still use them. Anyhow, I went on-line and ordered some that have a Victorian border.

Shamrocked Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hi Swannie Congrats on your new book. How exciting to see your dream realized! The cover is really beautiful and it does catch the eye like you wanted. Kudos to Frannie for the design. I hope to order a copy in the near future when I get some $ saved again. (Hubby and I just bought a car.) And I would love an old-fashioned signed bookplate. I will PM you when I order the book. Again Congrats!

Swansong Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 FYI...Just received a note from a Chanson fan in the UK who was NOT able to purchase the book because Xlibris does not sell to the UK. Please be advised that my book WILL be available for purchase in the UK in about a month when Xlibris sets up accounts with many national and international booksellers. Once the book is released to these other booksellers, I will post all links on my Chanson de l'Ange blog. Swannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansong Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Libby! I did get your books off to the post office today! Took me an hour just sign and personalize them! I'm gonna have to practice signing Paisley Swan Stewart about a hundred times at least, because my hand writing is awful! Anyhow, I hope you like what I wrote in both yours and your daughter's copies! (I also enclosed a couple business cards and an official Chanson de l'Ange bookmark!

ladyfran Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Wow! Swannie....what a wonderful tribute to a "Published new Authoress" I don't know ...is that what we call you. Myself I like the word Author better! Yes Swannie....in case it hasn't sunk in many people will have your books in their libraries, on their night stands, on their living room table....Yes Bonnie....it's real!! So....Do you suggest I wait to get the xtras from Amazon or do you feel that will be a ways down the line? I just thought that is the most popular place and where everybody goes and best of all we can leave our comments there for many to read!! ***** stars at least my friend!

Swansong Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Frannie, the amazon market should open in a couple weeks. It's supposedly 30 days from when Xlibris releases the title, which was on June 23. I think it would be great if you can wait a bit, because I agree that the book will get more exposure there. I should be getting YOUR copy in the mail anytime! Swannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
