Good afternoon, Readers:

You probably have received the message from Inkshares about new policies. I won't go into the details - you can do that yourself - but here's what it means for you and "Nowhere Else I Want to Be":

1. I will move my campaign to the new structure: 750 pre-orders instead of 1,000.

2. The price of the book will rise from $8.99 to $20.00 on Friday, October 30 at 12 noon PST.

3. I've launched a week-long marketing campaign to encourage pre-orders at the $8.99 price point.

What does all this mean for you?

1. You will NOT pay the higher price for any books you pre-order BEFORE Friday, October 30 at 12 noon Pacific time. That includes books you've already ordered.

2. If you were starting to plan gift-giving -- it's never too early to begin shopping for 2016 birthdays and holidays -- you'd do best to order extra books (you can order as many as ten) in the next seven days.

3. Please share the message (below) -- facebook, twitter, email and by word of mouth -- with friends, family, colleagues, and people interested in social justice, AIDS, race and women's issues. 

Copy and paste this message:

Now until Friday, October 30 at 12 noon PST -- pre-order "Nowhere Else I Want to Be" for only $8.99. After that, you will pay $20.00. A memoir written by the founder of Miriam's House - residence for Washington, DC's homeless women with AIDS - the book is full of humorous, tragic and fascinating stories about life in a community of women defying the odds. Read excerpts and pre-order here. 

One final thing. Here is a photo of my niece's work door. How's that for marketing? Thanks, Heather!

Thank you, readerly friends! Feel free to contact me (carold.marsh@gmail.com) if you have any questions, would like to have some book cards to distribute, or want to share ideas as to the best way to make the most of this special marketing week.

Peace,

Carol D. Marsh
