/ J. F. Riordan

The book business has always been mysterious, but in the turmoil of new media and new distributions, one thing remains the same: Sales Matter.

So if you enjoy my blog, may I please urge you to take a little jaunt over to Barnes and Noble, or to Amazon, or to your favorite bookstore, and ask for North of the Tension Line? Thank you!

    • Thank you, Kara! As it happens, I will be in Door County this weekend promoting the book at various shops. I hope you’ll pre-order and tell your friends.

      And most especially, I hope you’ll let me know how you like it.
