Letters from Lake Joe SRO

 Well, that's an exaggeration, but we did sell, or place on consignment, all the 110 copies I sent to Ontario. Most of them sold at the local ice cream store, Shaw's at The Cove Marina, at Footes Bay. Did it help that my 15 year old granddaughter Scarlett was working there?  Krista, the store's owner reported that one woman bought 8 copies! 

Several other stores in the area took half a dozen or a dozen books, and of course several people showed up at our cottage to pick up a copy.  There should still be books at Lake Living in Port Sandfield, Veranda in Bracebridge, the Boathouse Marina on the Joe River and Macleod's Cafe on the way into Mactier. 

I had expected my print run of 125 to last two summers, but am surprised and pleased that that was not to be. I've now created Letters as an Amazon paperback, so anyone shopping at Amazon.ca will get one of those books which they print on demand. Seems to take 3 to 4 weeks for delivery from the US. 

Or you can still buy one directly from me, using the Order Form on the blog.
