While sales aren't setting any blockbuster ratings, I'm happy.  I wasn't expecting it to be a best seller overnight.  A collection of short stories, no matter the genre, is a hard sell.  But, I do think that the short story form may be making a comeback.  They are quick and easy to read.  Got a few minutes, you can read a full story from start to finish.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The look inside feature has now been activated on Amazon and you can check it out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.amazon.com/Kats-Tales-Journeys-Darkness-Revealed/dp/1448684595/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1252242248&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/3422"&gt;Smashwords&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; has announced a deal with Barnes and Noble, so that's a good thing too.  I'll post a link when that becomes available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Kevin's hard at work on the audio version of the book.  Discovered quickly while I can write the words, me speaking them sounds so weird.  Then again, reading aloud was never my strong point (ask my kids).  I just don't have the acting ability needed to bring the life and emotion to the reading.  So I'll stick to writing the stories-we'll find readers who can do them justice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8218129065437083163-216996155437906647?l=journeysintovelvetdarkness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://journeysintovelvetdarkness.blogspot.com/feeds/216996155437906647/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://journeysintovelvetdarkness.blogspot.com/2009/09/revealed-evil_18.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8218129065437083163/posts/default/216996155437906647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8218129065437083163/posts/default/216996155437906647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://journeysintovelvetdarkness.blogspot.com/2009/09/revealed-evil_18.html' title='Revealed Evil'/><author><name>Kat Yares</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13723876435090409807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_et7nIOpnwzw/Sp5wU8RKYdI/AAAAAAAAABk/xKiUTM47Fs8/S220/kat.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218129065437083163.post-9086222688675157448</id><published>2009-09-13T07:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T07:13:24.211-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The First Review</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;for &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kats-Tales-Journeys-Darkness-Revealed/dp/1448684595/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1252242248&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Revealed Evil&lt;/a&gt; arrived via email today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;very nice work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;some pretty  disturbing images, pretty forbidden subjects, pretty direct lyric--  un-sugarcoated. you dance in places  i couldn't step, unknown country, velvety  darkness in all senses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;the  changlings made me shiver.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;the church on  the hill struck deeply buried chords.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The first 5 review copies of the print edition of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kats-Tales-Journeys-Darkness-Revealed/dp/1448684595/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1252242248&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Revealed Evil&lt;/a&gt; will be in the mail on Monday.
