Featured Replies

I am so excited that after 8 years of hard work - my magnum opus The Righteous Sin is complete!! I can't wait to share it with the world and welcome your feedback.  I created a novel that seeks to have the reader looking at the way they view the world, love, faith, and sin. Save the date as we officially launch the book November 15th 4pm at the Loft Hotel, Downtown Atlanta, GA.  Please check out my website www.therighteoussin.com for details. Thanks everyone

Righteous, you have a very nice website =, but I could not help but notice that your are selling your book directly, as the only option.  I was wondering if there was a specific reason you chose to do that.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We will be selling The Righteous Sin through other options including Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and African American specialist bookstores. The book will officially launch November 15th and we are offering pre-orders exclusively through our website www.therighteoussin.com 

Got it! Please post your ISBN13 so that I can add your book to my database.  Thanks.

I'm pleased to see you also mentioned African American bookstores as a source.

Authors used to say something like, "available where books are sold," without giving any particular store the free promotion.  Today many authors say, "buy my book at Amazon" and display a big Amazon logos on their websites.  An independent bookstore would kill for that time of free publicity.  

On my site redesign I'm sending readers to a variety of different stores--even to the publisher's website, when that is an option, to buy the book.  I'm also considering transitioning to selling books directly.  Man if I could get authors to display an AALBC.com logo on their website and say by my book at AALBC.com I would actually pay for that.

Thanks the ISBN# is 978-0-9863559-4-3 (Don't think it will be activated until the 15th November).

I understand the importance of working together and so will be happy to send people to your site and display your logo on my website as one of the places to get my book. I have been impressed by the wealth of information on your site. (especially where to go for book events).

Thank you - your hard work is appreciated.

:wub: 

I added your book to my database: http://aalbc.it/gillianberry this is a website under development, the the URL will always work. Once your ISBN is "active" the buy links will work. Let me know if you want to change the information or if you ever post a youtube video, I'll add it to you page.

Thanks for sharing information about your book here.  

For the sake of booksellers, I would add the ISBN to the website, that and the name of the publisher--even if you are the publisher.  This also helps readers who want to have a bookstore order your book.
