I ask because I wonder if you had published your book three years ago if you would have received the same bump from the publishing of Under the Dome? Also, having a work that ties in to an icon like King never hurts, eh? Thanks for the chronicling. It certainly is fascinating. Can we add timeliness to your story as well?

Very informative told in your careful and rational style. What often seems like serendippity in the promotional process is persistent, methodical connecting, just as you say. One can never control the decisions of gatekeepers, but for sure they have no reason to open a gate if no is there asking... -- Sully Thanks for the lucid look at a specific path through the maze, Bev.

Still, though, yours was released earlier right, and only got the bump up when Under the Dome came out. I wonder if they'll just keep you in print and do the same every time a new King comes out? Oops. Still, though, yours was released earlier right, and only got the bump up when Under the Dome came out. I wonder if they’ll just keep you in print and do the same every time a new King comes out?
