I have a degree in radiological medical physics, a wonderful husband, an awesome little boy and a darling foster daughter. I've finished my first novel (a time-travel romance set in Scotland), revised the heck out of it, and am currently querying agents.
Hi Jenny: I was thinking about you earlier, when I picked up a massive historical novel that I lately purchased, used. (gasp!) (G) It occurred to me that my comment here might have sounded a little nasty, when I really meant it in a kidding sort of way. I don't buy all my books new (couldn't possibly afford that), only my favourite authors. I hope you weren't offended.
No problem! I actually tried to comment back to you the other day, but Blogger was misbehaving. *sigh* I don't see the paperback swap as anything different than picking up a book for $0.25 at a flea market or even ordering used from Amazon. Plus, if I find an author I like, I'm more likely to go buy more of their books, and also to recommend them to other people.
That’s the plan, at least, until she finds in Alec MacGregor, her handsome protector, a love worth giving up everything she’s ever known.
But it is the late seventeenth century, and while Scotland is torn by the power struggles between supporters of the exiled King James and the English who would seek to rule them, she and Alec are swept into the intrigues of Earls and Kings, and events that could take their lives…or separate them forever.

Cheap, yeah. But authors don't get paid when you share their books. Hey, aren't you writing a novel? (G)
