The Ruby Red Slippers - Now in Beijing

Exciting News!

I just received the following message from my publisher.


Congratulations!

It gives us immense pleasure to report that two hundred of our titles were approved by the Chinese Government for import and were selected by the Taiwan bookstore in Beijing to be placed on their shelves and sold to local readers. Your book is included in this select group of titles.  Now we have one of the largest English book display sections in the entire store. In the U.S. especially, book sales are dominated by online retailers like Amazon, and we have seen the demise of many popular bookstore chains over the last few years. It is inspiring to see that in China the tangible still holds strong, and it is the physical “books on a shelf” that serve as the dominant sales point in the book markets.

The books are sitting on a bookstore shelf in Beijing being viewed by millions of people, which is something you should be extremely proud of.
