One of the things that my book focuses on is questioning the potential reasons why the film affects us so much. I know that I personally have never been so enlivened by a film, and my curiosity into that response is what brought about the book.

That will be very very interesting David; I think the 2 works will complement each other well. Yours is going to be there in Estes, right?

I sent my final corrections to the publisher this last weekend, after viewing the author's copy....  The book's cover is beautiful, thanks to Milli's efforts, and I admit that I actually enjoyed reading it... Of course that was the whole point of writing it anyway - to write something that I would enjoy reading (and I hope others will too.)

Dreamfilm: Brokeback Mountain Explored should be debuting soon.
  When will this be available and where can we buy it?

Yes, Daniel, please provide us with details as soon as your book is available.

Just goes to show you can learn something every day. Way to go Dniel, I am looking forward to getting my copy.

Dreamfilm: Brokeback Mountain Explored is now available for purchase. Click on http://www.xlibris.com/Dreamfilm to order it directly from the publishers with a 10% discount off the retail price (at least I think, anyway. Let me know if it's not, but I thought that's what they said). Alternatively, you can try to purchase it at other online bookstores or have your local retailer order it. The paperback retails at $10.00, and the hardback retails at $20.00.

ISBN13: 978-1-4257-5000-8 (Trade Paperback)
ISBN: 1-4257-5000-1 (Trade Paperback)
ISBN13: 978-1-4257-5003-9 (Hardback)
ISBN: 1-4257-5003-6 (Hardback)

If you would like a signed copy, please let me know. (I will only sign hardbacks, if that's okay with everyone.)

UPDATE: The publishers have just informed me that this is a test page for orders, so I'm not certain if those are the correct prices or not. I do know that the publishers offer a 15% discount off of the paperback (softcover) price and a 10% discount off the hardback price.

UPDATE: My book of poetry (as Milli pointed out below) is also available for purchase at http://www.xlibris.com/MysticMadnessintheNight It is a few more pages, so slightly more expensive. The paperback retails at $20.99 and the hardback at $30.99. I think the special formatting that poetry often requires is also a contributing factor of the price.

Trade paperback ISBN:               1-4257-6284-0
Trade paperback ISBN (13):        978-1-4257-6284-1
Trade hardback ISBN:                 1-4257-6289-1
Trade hardback ISBN (13):          978-1-4257-6289-6

Also I have just been informed by my publishers that it will take at least 60 days for the books to be listed on Amazon, Borders, and Barnes and Noble webpages. So at this time it's only available direct from the publisher (or like I mentioned earlier, I think you can have your local retailer order it since there is now an ISBN #).

I think so..... you might want to wait a few days though.... I'm still surprised that the discount isn't coming up at xlibris bookstore, so there might be something not quite finished at the publisher's end.

ATTACHED: a larger picture of the cover for Mystic Madness in the Night. Yep, it turned out great, I'll have to keep coming to you for my other titles. We got a great thing goin', you and I. We could go places.

There are two ways that we could do this. You could either send me the money and then I can send you a signed copy. Or you could order the book and put my address in as the shipping address and then I'll sign it and send it to you.

Why does it take 60 days to get to Amazon and other retail websites.

Well, the hard part is over. Me writing the thing. It took me a year to research, six months to write, three months to edit. Done, ready for printing.
One month (at least) to be processed by a distributor. One month (at least) to be processed by a wholesaler. Up to one month to be processed by a retailer.
