My Book is at Barnes and Noble

Cool to see my book hanging out with all the other LA books :) (Image: Ruksana Hussain)

Woohoo! Yes, it's true. My book is now available at Barnes and Noble. The only way to find out where your books are sold, at least as far as retail outlets go, is to actually go check in person it appears. Since books are distributed by multiple parties, there is no way to say which outlets are carrying your books or not. Sure you could call and ask or check online but I've learned even that isn't a sure way to tell because sometimes books are not in stock or are ordered and still on their way or are only available by order, etc. 

So imagine my surprise visiting the Barnes and Noble near home to discover they did have my book and offered to give me all copies they had so I could sign them too. Now if you go to the book store location at The Grove, you can get a signed by me copy and every book has a lovely Signed by the Author gold seal sticker they put on the cover so go get your copy there before they run out!

It really is kinda cool to see your book sitting there on the Travel section shelves along with so many other books you've read or authors you've admired over the years. It was somewhat awkward to ask complete strangers to take my pictures by my own book but also felt so happy to see it there and tell them about it. I don't know if that feeling ever goes away but right now, it is pretty darn thrilling. 

Of course, I drove around to a bunch of other book stores near me and many did not carry the book. Some were interested and some not. But I am hoping to discover a few more that do carry my book and post it here. Meanwhile if you find my book anywhere then tell me about it please. Feel free to send me a message here on my website or tag me in social media. And, thank you for buying the book. It makes my day to hear when folks buy the book!
