Marked down


Poor little "How About a Kiss For Me?" is coming to the end of its natural life. Amazon marked it down last week to $6.99, and now it's down to $5.50. It had a nice 2-year run, earned back its advance, and was even released in paperback by Scholastic.

But it's not going to live to see a second printing. Once Amazon clears out its inventory it will only live on as an "Available from these sellers" used book.

The good news? As of today it's Baby Maggie's favorite book. If you ask for anything more than that in life you're just being greedy.

The other good news? "Ten Tiny Toes" will be out in five months. I've seen the almost-final version, and it looks great, but I'm not allowed to post any visuals online yet :(

So...circle of life, man.

Take us home, Elton:

    1. Yes. I read in Children's Publishing for Dummies that you should keep as many copies as you can. So I did. Not enough to warrant a second printing, apparently.
