So I walked into a bar last week. The bartender squinted her eyes and said, "Hey! Are you Joe Cottonwood?"
"Yes."
"I knew you from your book cover. I just bought Clear Heart to give my boyfriend for Christmas."
Now that's fame. Earlier this year, I got an email from a bartender in Liverpool, England who'd read Famous Potatoes.
And speaking of honors, I woke up this morning to read:
2008 Founders Choice AwardsHey. My podcast wins awards. And bartenders all over the world are buying my novels.This year’s five Founders Choice Awards for excellence in serialized audiobook production for titles here on Podiobooks.com go to:

About the Founders Choice Awards
The Founders Choice Awards are given annually — well, they will be given annually — to serialized audiobooks of impeccable quality.
Impeccable quality and a happy new year, everybody!
That's awesome, about bartenders and awards.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get your book from podcast. My husband just bought me a 160 GB iPod and it's filled with books with some scattering of music and some pictures of my five children.
I actually got here looking for Q title of a book for a reading challenge that I'm trying this year.
I see you like romances, so give it a try. Clear Heart is a romance - but don't tell my male readers. It's a romance from the male point of view.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Joe!
