Good evening, my friends,
Welcome to our friends in India. Good to see you on the website.
Yes, I finally broke down and ordered 24 copies of my first novel to have available for those who said they’d like to have a signed first edition.
As many of you know, I had issues with the publisher, who priced the book way too high - $27.95 - although I sold it for $19.75 tax included. No, I didn’t make money, but wanted to get the book out in circulation in the hopes it might be read by someone who wanted to make a great movie. (All my readers say it would).
We sold the 700 copies we ordered and told everyone else to order it from the publisher. But, I didn’t like them making money from my work, so I’ve ordered a few to see how they sell here.
So, get your orders in now. Send a check for $19.00 - $16.00 for the novel and $3.00 for shipping, to:
Karl Boyd Productions, P. O. Box 2096, Rockport, TX 78381-2096
Thanks in advance. I know you’ll enjoy the original. It was a fun book to write and I learned a lot from it. Check out the plot on my home page.
I finished proofing my latest, “Palmyra, Isle of Death”, and it is on the way to the publisher again. We found about 30 small things I thought should be changed and added the correct back cover, so it’s ready to go.
I only hope we’ll be able to have the book signings I hoped for this year. Carol is having health problems on top of her eye sight trouble, and she comes first in my book - has for 52 years plus and always will!
We will hold a book signing at Curves in Rockport, Monday and Tuesday of this week. Look for us there. We’ll have three of my novels for you to purchase. Hope to see you there.
I finally heard from Princess Cruise line, and they confirmed we were without our luggage from Nov 27 - 4 Dec, so hopefully the insurance company won’t jack us around anymore, but will reimburse us for our unnecessary expenses. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
A new friend, Kellie wrote, (she’s one of the passengers who assisted me by reading the first draft pages of “The Don’s Stimulus Package”, and giving me some input), to say they were going on a cruise from Singapore thru many of the Far East countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Viet Nam, Cambodia, India and others before transiting the Suez Canal - which is just the cruise we want to take, since those are the few countries we haven’t been to yet. It isn’t until 2011, but we hope she will send us the info so we can plan on it, providing Carol’s eyesight and health is better by then.
So, if that happens, we’ll be giving you more tips on travel as I did on the last two cruises, plus letting you know what we think of the places we visit.
It’s turned colder, just as they said it would, so we stayed in most of the day, except to take what seems to be a daily trip to Walmart to walk and pick up a few items. The sales people know us by name now.
I think that’s about it for tonight. Carol is asleep and I’m still pounding the keys.
Hope you will leave a few comments below to let me know how you like my blog.
Don’t be a stranger - come back often and tell your friends - AND, order those novels now!
Until next time,
Vaya con Dias, my friends,
Karl
