Cheap 'Thrill'

I was looking for a book on Amazon last night and, while I was at it, decided to see if my own book was up there.

Glory be, it is! It's discounted, too; just $10.77.

The Amazon.com sales rank currenly stands at "none," but give it time; the book's official street date isn't until December 5.

A Google search revealed to my surprise that the book is already popping up in various places, including:

• A Japanese online store (a bargain at 1,659 yen)
• The Web site for my publisher's ministry-services catalogue, which includes a little bio
• My publisher's fall catalogue

But of all the online references to it thus far, other than the Amazon page, the one that makes me the happiest is the book's appearance on Village Voice sex columnist Rachel Kramer Bussel's Amazon wish list. That is an honor. If no one buys it for her by the beginning of November, I'll fulfill her wish myself.
