This is a book. And Also its a Good book, one to read. The auther who goes by the Name of Daryl M. Corteney really has a nack for Good science Fiction telling. Also the Story.

This woman I know recently wrote her own novel and is self publishing it.

It's fucking horrible from what I've heard of it, but shes having a launch and the Barnes and Noble near me.

Since when does Barnes and Noble sell shitty self published novels?

They don't, but they'll hold book signings for anyone who requests it. The way they see it: if the author's publicity stunt brings anyone in, they're a potential customer for B&N.

I attended a reading of hers at a bookstore in the middle of nowhere, mostly to keep my grandmother company and make sure she wasn't being scammed out of money.

I thought the store might be interesting but it had a few crates of books that looked like they had been bought at goodwill.

For thirty minutes I listened to this woman read a few chapters of her book, stumbling over four syllable words before claiming her creative director had added them in.

I understand that, I google the pronunciation of words and especially names all the time.

This happened twice and they were not uncommon words.

From what my Grandmother told me I got the impression that the author was scammed by someone before deciding to self publish. I heard stories about how she was being paid thirteen million dollars for the book and how Justin Timberlake was going to star in the movie.
