While I love almost any type of publicity, I wish to address the poster's claim that the only thing controversial is the fact that I have a priest in my novel. The controversy stems from the actions of the priest and his attempt to justify them with relation to the decisions he's made on earth and the vows he took to God. Many bookstores are indeed afraid to carry it, not becuase of my first-time author status, but becuase of the nature of the storyline. I believe a quote from a upstate New York boostore owner was, "My customers aren't comfortable with that subject matter." My book has sold over 2,100 copies in North America and over 500 in Europe, where it is on the shelves of many independent bookstoresRaimondo Salomonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075952951667886879noreply@blogger.com
