Since I have such a small following, I post my blog at five different places, usually starting at Authorinfo.com. I just learned that I've been suspended there. I wonder if it is because of my political opinions, which tilt right. That seems odd, as most days I write about anything but politics, so disgusted am I by the process. I prefer to ruminate about life, the characters I meet while operating the floating bookshop, novels, movies, TV or music. It is especially weird in light of the fact that the webmaster asked to do a profile of me in his magazine, which hit a snag when I was unable to come up with any high res photographs of myself. I sent him a few that were not up to snuff. 20 years ago I would have be so excited by such a prospect. After so many dead ends, I simply shrug. I don't expect anything but to struggle to sell copies of my books on my own the rest of my life, and I'm fine with that. I won't even inquire as to what the problem is. Who knows - it may be something else.
The elderly Russian couple who still hold hands donated six books today. The woman, in her charming accent, calls the genre "dee-tec-teeve." I love it. It reminds me of how my mom and sister would pronounce words. I wound up selling all of them to two regulars, Lev and Mr. Almost/Mikhail. I also sold a bunch of others and received a small books donation from an elderly woman. Thanks, folks.
For the past several days I've neglected to pay tribute to Richard Dawson, 79, who passed away. He had an amazing television run, first as a regular on the WWII sitcom Hogan's Heroes, then as host of Family Feud. Rest in peace, sir, and thanks. All together now: "Survey says!"
Speaking of surveys, my thanks to mysurvey.com, which added ten bucks to my paypal account.
