We have a few... Three months you say? I think immediately, look at these: A Jericho's Cobble Miscellany (It's something special... cross-genre "history" of a fictional New England town. And Tom Shachtman is a master.) https://www.amazon.com/Jerichos-Cobble-Miscellany-Tom-Shachtman/dp/1963695577 Avalon Moon by Michael Amos Cody. It's a thriller set in the fictional Appalachian town of Runion. (The Amazon page is not quite resolving right yet. Give it a day or two.) It's also on our website: https://madvillepublishing.com/product/avalon-moon/ We have this wonderful poetry collection, No Lace Fronts in Iowa City, by Meghan Malachi: https://www.amazon.com/No-Lace-Fronts-Iowa-City/dp/1963695690

@Paul Roberson Thanks Paul. After the fact I realized I was supposed to go and fill out the form. One-eyed and loopy this week!

Book signing in Italy
Hello friends, has anyone ever signed books in Italy? If so, what is the standard consignment split between author and bookstore? In the U.S., I'm accustomed to 60%/40% for author/store split. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Carol! I have not had a book signing in Italy. I did used to sell "New Age Books in English" in SPAIN. It's been a while, but the bookstore usually kept 35%.

Disgusted with scammers
I am going through 666 book club emails that I've saved and am researching them. So far, 100% of them are scams. If there's a legitimate website or email, I'm reaching out to the actual owners/CEOs, etc., and sharing the email. If no email or contact form is available, I am copying and pasting the Google proof explaining that it's a scam. Why? Because I'm tired of their *hit!

I hear you, Rebecca, but you must have more hours in the day than I have! I couldn't begin to research and respond to all these knotheads!

Makes me want to expectorate! Or maybe have a little bout of the Continental Pip, as my grandmother would have said.
