Come back books

I am researching a column about COMEBACK"
BOOKS. I am thinking about backlist titles that suddenly go ballistic, for
whatever reason, creating a delayed or repeat bestseller when least
expected. Or, was it truly luck? Perhaps you engineered this marketing
coup yourself.
Tell me your stories! I am especially interested in titles that became
bestsellers years after their release, and knowing why. Please include
sales numbers. Send your stories to gksturgis@earthlink.net .

the War is rough

I got the sad news today that my young cousin was killed in Iraq. He was a US Marine.
My father told me about it on the phone but then to watch the local TV news interview his brother, one of his friends and my sister just really made it hit home even more.

I usually dont go political on you but I am going to say what I have been saying for over a year now, the death count is too high and the benefits do not outweight the cost- just ask his mother or brother.

Quakin!

Everything is fine here, we are just shaking in California!
the last one in Yucaipa was strong,yet rolling.

We in california have learned to rate them ourselves, we guess the number and then see what Cal Tech says.


Earthquakes dont scare me or shake me up.
I did not hear one dog in my neighborhood bark though, so all these people who say their dogs bark, point and then write 'Earthquake" in the dirt for their masters are remembering the event a little differently than most of us.

Summer is when a lot of reality tv gets set up, so their are going to be a lot more tv things here, everything from commercials to tv shows. A widely circulated commercial can boost your pr- remind me to tell the story of when I was on a local los angeles commercial for the dr phil show when it was first coming out.
