After a month of hammering socials for the Kickstarter, I took a few days off to unwind and catch my breath. Now, I'm in San Antonio for the Mountains & Plains Independent Booksellers Assn. SpringCon event - my first. We're at the Menger Hotel, which is quite nice. #SpringCon #MPIBA

I was picking brains about this last night at MPIBA in Denver, and I’ve come away thinking this: libraries now won’t have a distributor, and the existing distributors have no incentive to broaden their business to serve libraries since the benefits to them are so limited and the costs so great.

Got to hang out with Torrey House Press tonight. They are an awesome Utah-based publisher and have contributed to a great education. I’ve gotten over the last few hours. I’m so glad that I came to this event. #MPIBA and a bunch of these bookstores seem really interested in #WhisperHousePress books!
