Once I convinced my older brother that it is ok to take pictures at a bookstore (or a restaurant or a parade or anywhere else as I often do as a compulsive blogger), he took this picture of my book placed face-out in the memoir section of his local Barnes & Noble.
I’m nestled in between Marrying George Clooney and Loose Girl. I think I’ll just leave it at that.
If anyone ever publishes the book I have on my computer I would travel the country taking pictures of it!!!! No, I’d travel the world!
Congratulations, and I love your book.
That’s perfect! I’m sure George Clooney could be a “well-insured groom”. You got about 16 months to track him down =)
@Caitlin – I heard that George Clooney suffered from a constant headache for several months after injuring himself doing a stunt. He described the pain as one of the worst experiences of his life. So I bet he’d be sympathetic to my plight!
Any publicity is good publicity, and your book is worth it. I hope you sell a zillion more from that extra “exposure”! I’d sidle up next to George anytime.
That is so cool! Do you find it surreal to see your book in stores?
I take pictures in the bookstore all the time. I always turn your book faceout when I’m there. It’s all about exposure, right? I don’t know if I ever sent it to you. I tried to copy the photo into the comment here but it wouldn’t work. I’ll e-mail it. Hmmm… sandwiched between Clooney and Loose Girl … hmmmm …..
The headlines of all three books read “Marrying Half Assed Loose Girl.” Lol – somebody in that store has a sense of humor :-)
Haaaa! I read an ARC of ‘Loose Girl’ when I worked at B&N…it’s good, but definitely not as upbeat as yours!
When I saw the picture I saw “Marrying half-ass loose girl” lol.
I’m in the middle of reading your book right now, not sure what took me so long, guess I’m cheap lol.
I’m glad you said that because in convincing your brother, you just convinced me. I’m timid with my digital camera because I don’t want anyone to go “mad paparazzi” on me.
Well, the jeans are certainly loose.
Personally, I would be sick/ shameless about this sort of thing. I would get a T-Shirt made that says, “I’M THE AUTHOR OF HALF-ASSED” and pose next to the shelf it’s on for a picture while giving the “wink & gun.” :)
That’s awesome! I downloaded your book and read it on my Kindle, but I still get a kick out of seeing it in paperback form on the bookshelves.
Haha! Hilarious. It must be a surreal feeling seeing your book in stores – although I’m sure you’re used to it by now :)
I saw your book today and didn’t hesitate to whip out my phone and take a picture. You are noteworthy!

Congratulations on impacting the world!
What a great feeling that must be! Congratulations on both the book AND the weight loss. Talk about making the problem the solution. Wow.
At least your “nestled” while the rest of us [well, at least me] play with the idea of writing a book. Nice brother!!
I read Loose Girl! It’s actually a great book:) You’re in good company, I promise.
