Absolutely. It's home, it...Of course you go. Absolutely. It's home, it's vacation, and it's work all rolled up into one. And you can probably write off most of it as business expenses as you'll be promoting your book.<br /><br />Plus, as they say, you have to spend money to make money. Can you sell 60 books in one night? I don't know. But will word of mouth, your book and your name be put out into the 'ether' by going? To potentially return (as sales or clients) later? I think yes.<br /><br />So go. My fiance and I will certainly be in the audience!<br /><br />Sounds like you already have a place to stay, but if you need it in a pinch, there's our guest bedroom as well. You'd be more than welcome.<br /><br />And I'm with Gritter. If you need it, I'll send it. But go already! :)SeanHagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483889069613600518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-89982088964434348292010-10-14T06:24:20.084-07:002010-10-14T06:24:20.084-07:00Seems to me that if twelve of us sent you $100 the...Seems to me that if twelve of us sent you $100 then you would be mostly covered and certainly book sales would cover any overage. <br /><br />I personally think that selling 20-25 books is a more realistic number based on a 50% house and 6%-8% of them buying. <br /><br />Obviously, if Mr. Davis would assist with a recommendation during his feature speech - that would be big.<br /><br />My check goes out today. <br /><br />How about it guys, - who's in? <br /><br />Let's get our friend and mentor to the Big Apple.Gritterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252051586502341992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-75604033445011628532010-10-13T19:39:12.006-07:002010-10-13T19:39:12.006-07:00Well, you already know my answer, and I know the p...Well, you already know my answer, and I know the pressure of the cash vice. <br /><br />But, money aside, it would be a great way to celebrate. A kind of "Homecoming", and a good way too celebrate the book, its achievements, your achievements, visit family and old friends, hang with Wade, tell some stories, connect with some bigwig publishers, visit old spots, some old handball courts - the whole shebang...<br /><br />But yeah, money, money, money... what can you sell? Or, what kind of investment might this be? Or, what kind of adventure!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15319475786834084387noreply@blogger.com
