Happy Picture of the Day

This is my mother. She is holding the very first physical copy of my very first published book.

Today was a good day.

Awesome, congratulations on your book, everyone on here gets a free copy right?

I am very happy for you, and your mom!

Yessir. Right here. http://www.amazon.com/The-Blackguard-Ben-Garrido-ebook/dp/B00JOW4RMC

Awesome!

I just bought a copy on Amazon.... well sort of. The checkout spinney thingy has been spinning for about five min now. Hope I didn't crash Amazon.

Could you autograph this post and I'll print it out and stick it in the book?

I'll autograph the smoking remnants of amazon.com and send that over.

From an author's perspective, what is the most profitable method through which to sell us a copy of your book?

Yeah, my first attempt must of set a server on fire because it wouldn't finish the checkout. I went back and tried again and it worked! Now I'm anxiously awaiting to check out the book.

Definitely Amazon.

In reply to DaewooOfDeath:

That's amazing. HUGE congratulations to you!!!

Cool cover art, too. Looks like a record on Blue Note in the early 60's.

Thank you sir. The artist is a total badass. He's gonna be doing all my covers from here out. And he's Portuguese, which gives me automatic passionate Latin cred.

Congratulations man, that's awesome!

Thank you sir.

Congrats!!! I will definitely have an Amazon drone deliver a copy to me.

Congratulations Ben! You've fulfilled one of my dreams. I'd hazard a guess that applies to quite a few board members.

Can you give us a brief plot synopsis without giving too much away?

Let me add my congratulations to the stack. My brother just recently got a book contract for his novel so all sorts of literary happiness going on!

Fantastic!
