Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 9/15 - Books

There was a fun item on Page Six of today's New York Post. Monica Lewinsky is back to entertain us, shopping a book to publishers. Web jokers immediately began tweeting title suggestions. Here are the ones listed in the piece: How the Government Brought Me to My Knees, The Monica Lewinsky Story; Fifty Shades of Blue Dress; Catch ’er in the Eye; Salty Tales From the Oval Office; Crouching Intern, Hidden Cigar. There are a lot of clever, creative people out there.

This morning I was notified by Twitter that I was being followed by Wheelman Press. I sent a thank you, returned the follow, and clicked on the link to its website. If there is a fee involved in being published there, it was well-disguised. I sent a query about the next novel I hope to have published, Exchanges, which was influenced by my near 25 year run at the madhouse that was Comex/Nymex. I've already received a response asking to see the manuscript, which I just submitted. Of course, now I have in mind the old adage: "If something seems to good to be true, it probably is." Then again, what do I have to lose? The only thing that can be stolen is the file. It would be hell seeing the novel published in someone else's name, but there's that other old adage: "No risk, no reward."

The floating book shop's luck continued today. My thanks to regular customers Jack, Maryann, Munsey, and everyone else who bought.
