Cathryn,
Just looked up your book "Rocket City" on www.barnesandnoble.com published in 1995. Sorry about 1966. Don't know where I got that. I see it's still in first edition. Not that I'm competing, but one of my books was released in 2000 (no marketing on my part at all; but a large book club picked it up as well as a large publisher in South Korea; as I mentioned before it will be re-released in Sept. So big city book tours aren't always a key to a long and properous shelf life. Also, publishers have purchased foreign rights to my other three major books as I do feel they will with "The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes." My motto: Be patient like a cat. If it's meant to happen, it will--without or without a book tour.
