The past month and a half have been dark days at the Corinth Alcorn County Animal Shelter (http://www.cachs.org/). First, a front page article announcing my book appeared in the local newspaper, the Daily Corinthian, followed shortly thereafter with an article about the imminent demise of the shelter due to budget woes. That was followed by an article in which the then director revealed that hundreds of animals were being euthanized monthly. Another article appeared announcing the resignation of that director and the hiring of a new director. Within a week, another front-page article appeared announcing the new director had been "fired."
My, oh my. You can read everything here (http://www.dailycorinthian.com/Corinth_Alcorn_County_Humane_Society.htm).
So far my book costs have been $575.27, with sales totalling $431.47. So I am still $143.80 in the hole, but the book stores owe me money, and I have about 25 books in my possession. Perhaps when I do a book signing I shall have caught up and made a little money by then. I really didn't expect to make a lot of money from the books, but I had hoped to at the least increase the positive exposure to the shelter.
On the positive side, all 25 members of my furry family are healthy, alive, and in good spirits. I finally managed to capture a big orangie, whom I have been stalking for about four years. You can see a picture of him on the front page of my personal website.
Thanks all.
