When I joined it was $4.95 or something like that.<BR/><BR/>Andy -- I hear you've been getting some big-time agent bites! Good for you. <BR/><BR/>As for a "hard of hearing version" do you mean an audio book with a super-amplified microphone built in for old-timers wearing flip-flops who're half deaf from being a pilot for years... like yourself??! LOL<BR/><BR/>Nice to hear from you. I hope all is well in Hawaii and good luck with that agent contract!Holly Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02336717023482533615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-11415868908787220332008-01-11T21:40:00.000-08:002008-01-11T21:40:00.000-08:00John -- Nice to see you. I've missed having you pop by. <BR/><BR/>I've wondered the same thing, so maybe it is book clubs that sell most of the large print. However, that said, yours should STILL be a heckuva lot higher up on the counter than that. Woof!<BR/><BR/>LURKERS, take note: <BR/>John Elder Robison is the author of Look Me in the Eye, which became an instant New York Times bestseller when it debuted in Sept/07. Slip over to his blog & read a few of his posts. Then go buy his book, if you haven't already. It's fantastic!Holly Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02336717023482533615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-73449369890467578202008-01-11T21:38:00.000-08:002008-01-11T21:38:00.000-08:00Thanks for your gushing kudo responses, all! I appreciate the support.<BR/><BR/>Adam -- Up-and-comers. Hmmmm, I like the sound of that for sure! Let's hope so.<BR/><BR/>Wordman17 -- Are you drinking and writing again? If so, isn't it hard to "steer the craft" through such a haze?! (just kidding)<BR/><BR/>For those who don't, you should pop by Larramie's blog and check out her posts. She is unfailingly supportive of authors and writers across the map. Some of us call her "Daisy Girl" (for obvious reasons)<BR/><BR/>Orion - You're (gulp) coming to Canada that soon?!
