IT'S HERE!

It's available!
.
If any of my blog friends want to purchase my book, you can do so in one of several ways:
.
1. Hit the Paypal "Buy Now" button at the top of my blog. Your order will come directly to me and I will ship the book to you via priority mail. If you want me to sign it for you, please know it would be such a pleasure for me to do that. Using Palpal, you can charge the cost to whatever credit card you want and I will be able to send the book to you anywhere in the world. If you don't already have a Paypal account set up, it's confidential and pretty easy. Just hit the "buy now" button and you will be walked through the info needed.
.
2. You can purchase through Amazon.com and/or BarnesandNoble.com. Enter 'The Light Stay on Karen Jasper' and there it will be! You'll get a discounted price this way (I'm not sure about the postage cost). If you want the book signed, just send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I will send you a signed book plate. No charge for that for any of my wonderful blog friends. (Miladysa, I think it's also available though Amazon UK).
.
3. Your local bookstore can order "The Light Stays On" if you ask for it. No postage cost that way.
.
4. If you are inclined to comment on the story of Alex and Lily, please consider doing so on Amazon. Reader feedback helps them to rank the book, and the higher the ranking, the better the responses.
.
This is a very exciting occasion for me. I want to thank each of you so damn much for your support every step of the way. Many of you are acknowledged in the foreword of the book itself, with my deep gratitude.
If you do have occasion to hold the book in your hands, I would love your feedback after reading it. I'll be officially "launching" a publicity and marketing campaign at the first of the year. Again, thank you thank you thank you.

  7. Did you hear that? That was the sound of me popping a cork on a bottle of champagne in honor of this momentous occasion! (and I don't even drink! LOL) I've said this before, KJ, but I'm so honored to have been there when this story's first pages were written ... I can't wait to have my own copy -- I want to be there when you sign it, too. :)

  9. congrats on the new book! what's it all about? when do you hit the road? will you be coming south?

    things remain pretty much the same here… still working part time at the museum and on the house renovations… i have been pushing myself too hard for too long and have decided to make the world slow down a bit… at least until after the holidays… then i will be hard at it again… at least from the business perspective…

  10. I just bought it thru Paypal! I'd love for you to sign it :) It doesn't look like shipping was included in the price, so please email me (or blog me) to tell me what to send for postage and where.
    My email is on my website linked in my profile.

    I'm so happy for you!!

  12. Well done kj. I have another blogger who is so frustrated by the publishing process she's thinking about doing the same. I will buy it but with all our 'costs' lately, might have to wait until after Christmas. Again, congratulations.

  13. mike,glad to hear you will be slowing down. that sounds just right for you. the book is a love story--about when love doesn't work and when it does. i don't know how far south i'll get. i'm going to focus on independent book stores and try to hit at least five.

    lolo, you are a dear. i got the order from paypal. you already paid for shipping. i will sign it for you with the pleasure of knowing we are becoming friends...

    :)
