So sorry my friend.  Go scream and throw something &amp; then its back to the drawing board (or computer).  Hopefully someday you can look at this and realize it was the starting pint for something bigger and better. 

I do think our whole society today feeds off of sensationalism.  Its fed by the tabloids &amp; reality TV.  While its a trend that makes our minds go numb it seems to make people feel better about themselves.  Keep bucking the trend Kristen.  I too will buy your  book full price from an independent book seller (and buy some extras)
