Q: Is your book available in hardback, or only paper?
Paperback (it's a nice paperback or a large paperback) and Kindle only. Wickedly expensive to publish it in hardback.
Either way, could I purchase a copy from you directly so you'd get all the money instead of just a cut?
Well, yes. But it's a lot easier not to mention quicker for all concerned to just purchase it from Amazon. It also raises my sales ratio on Amazon. Purchases directly from me - don't count on Amazon. (Not that this matters a great deal, since I'm pretty much at the bottom of the sales figures on Amazon anyhow. Let's face it - this isn't a prurient romance novel or dystopian young adult sci-fi novel.)
I don't necessarily get any more money if you purchase it from me - since I had to buy my copies from my publisher (CreateSpace) and have them shipped to me. And well, I have to handle the shipping cost if I ship them to you. So in some ways, I get more if you purchase from Amazon.
But if you really want to purchase it from me - email me, and we'll exchange info. And I'll sign it, if you care about that sort of thing. ;-)
Speaking entirely for myself, I'm more interested in people and their lives than just places per se.
Pretty much the same way myself. Even when I do write about places in NY or elsewhere, I inevitably end up writing about the people I'm with at the time or see. And photos? Tend to have people in them. When I draw or paint? People.
I'm more interested in character than setting. Not really much of a travel writer or blogger.
