1st author: ‘My name comes between two really successful writers on the shelf, so when I go in a bookshop I turn turn by books to face the front and put them in front of theirs.’
2nd author: ‘ Do you do that too?!’
It set me to wondering about the authors who don’t turn their books to face the front.
1. They are so successful it would make no difference to book sales.
2. They are so rich they don’t need the money from booksales.
3. The bookseller recognises them and keeps an eye on them.
4. They are more grown up.
Any more ideas?
My husband the writer Andrew Norriss doesn’t move the books but I do! Well I did but I’ve nearly grown out of it now. It’s only because I’m so proud to see his books there.
If you haven’t checked his books out yet here’s the link yet again http://anorrissbooks.wordpress.com/
