New Way of Selling Novels-Maybe

Romance novels and shopping- this woman's idea of utopia! Seriously, this is a challenging landscape for authors these days. Amazingly my friends and family don't seem to understand that the bad economy affects writing books. Still puzzles me why they don't get that. So anyway, us non-household word authors are facing a huge barrier trying to sell our work. Because of that the quest to find new ways to keep doing what we love and getting our books on stores shelves is THE hot topic among us authors. Enter Home Shopping Network.

That's right, folks. One of the big three shopping channels will start selling romance novels soon. As an author I can't wait to see how this goes over. And no, Nora Roberts isn't the author they're starting with this time. Gregory L. Norris, who writes romance as Jo Atkinson, will be part of HSN's Escape with Romance on September 14th 8-9 am and again at 4-5 pm (EST). The second segment will air September 15th from 3-4 am. Could this be a trend? Stay tuned.
