I have to admit, I really did not expect the response I've already gotten for this book. I don't know what I expected but it certainly wasn't to sell the number of books I've already sold in the first 5 days and to have my first print (however small it was) sold out before it even arrived.

I had intended to be doing a lot more marketing of the book this week, but now I'm waiting to get caught up on the current orders before I start TRYING to increase them. They are increasing enough on their own!

The book itself has been quite the process. I mentioned it to only a few people before I knew it was complete, not wanting to jinx it. I started this book back in the spring of 2008, almost 2 years ago. In the midst of writing it I got sick and wasn't able to work on it for several months. Coming back to it was no small challenge and the deadline I assigned myself kept getting passed, but I did finish it. The next step was publishing. I purposely opted to not go after a standard publisher, knowing the time it would take to find one and knowing that having one would not really help with this type of book. Very few major brick & mortar book stores are going to carry a book like this regardless of who publishes it... and very few major publishers are going to know where to find this market. I know where to find you, and I can do the marketing, so it made sense to just get it published and make it available through a publisher that would get it on online retailers, like Amazon, then I could do the legwork to actually sell the book, directly and to adult bookstores and swinger clubs. The latter I haven't started yet, as I'm still trying to catch up on the direct sales.

I just hope that everyone who has ordered the book is as pleased with it as they expect to be. I am pretty pleased with it myself, even if there are already things I wish I'd added or included... perhaps a 2nd Revision down the road with more info and more quotes.

Pet thinks I've under-priced it, and the price may go up down the road. In comparison to other books on the topic, that IMO have lower quality information, it is VERY cheap. I priced the book at a price I would be comfortable paying... I love books but I can't see paying $40 for a book! Once you've read it I'd love to hear from you guys what you think the book is worth. I'd also love to know what you think about the book overall, what you liked, didn't and what you think might have been missed.

Pet suggested today a "Drama in Swinging" book, dedicated to all the crazy experiences that we and all of ya'll have experienced. Breaking them down to point out the red flags of how to avoid them. Might not be a bad idea as I think of it.
