I always say you can&#8217;t be a writer for the money of it. (Unless your last name is Meyer or Grisham or Patterson.) So, for me it&#8217;s just really fun to know that my little sumo wrestler story is going to be read by a lot more people. Yay!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/?attachment_id=511\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-511\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-511\" title=\"big in japan launch poster\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/big-in-japan-launch-poster1.jpg?resize=220%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/big-in-japan-launch-poster1.jpg?resize=220%2C300&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/big-in-japan-launch-poster1.jpg?resize=751%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 751w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/big-in-japan-launch-poster1.jpg?w=1456&amp;ssl=1 1456w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.authorjennifergriffith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/big-in-japan-launch-poster1.jpg?w=1160&amp;ssl=1 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if one of those people is YOU (because, how wrong can you go by spending 99 cents? Seriously.) please let me know how you like the book. Or leave a review or whatever. Because, yeah. Since we writers can&#8217;t do it for the money, we have to do it for reader feedback.<\/p>\n<p>I really, really do appreciate the people who read my stories. It&#8217;s just so cool of all of you. You&#8217;re really nice to me. Thank you so much! Thanks, thanks, thanks!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and on Amazon you can &#8220;look inside&#8221; at the first few pages and see if you think the story would appeal to you. Or to your book group. I&#8217;ve gotten lots of good feedback from people who have read it as their book-of-the-month selection. And a high school English teacher I know is planning to use it for his juniors in the spring (I think). So, there&#8217;s apparently an appeal to a lot of different ages and such.<\/p>\n<p>Annnnnnd, finally,\u00a0there&#8217;s this feature I never even knew about on Amazon that you can send a Kindle book to someone as a gift if you just have their email address. Right below the &#8220;click to purchase&#8221; button is a &#8220;give as a gift&#8221; button. That&#8217;s cool. Because in hardcover this book is like $30. By Grapthar&#8217;s Hammer! What a bargain, right?<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah. Here&#8217;s my post of shameless self-promotion. I hope you like the story, friends!
