Book is finalized.

I've just written an agreement to accept one of the bids from a publisher for this book. It's official now.   It's listed in the Directory of Books in Print, and information is being fed into Amazon.com this week. The only drawback is that Amazon wants 55% of the price AFTER discount, leaving me with very little profit, so I hope I either sell a lot, or people buy it directly from me off of www.resurrectionafterrape.org (to get a personalized copy), or I sell loads of them at conferences.   Also, two of my former patients have name credit right on the cover. It wasn't a publishing requirement--after all, I wrote this manuscript--but it was the right thing to do, since they have been particularly helpful with it. Much of the art and journaling inside the book comes from them, and they have been so patient with my constant messages asking "just one more question."  Now, the big question comes: will people actually buy this? I'm hoping for lots of support and interest from DS, of course, but what about people looking for books about rape recovery? I hope it becomes a stand-out book, because God knows the dozens of women whose stories fill its pages are remarkable.   I plan to add to the website, including unpublished "bonus" chapters, a forum for "Ask Shannon" or "Ask Matt" (or even "Ask Victoria," if she hasn't moved to another planet by then) so people can interact. Maybe even have a simple cafepress store to sell gifts with inspirational designs, such as:    (this is Shannon's letter of blessing for future survivors, along with a hawk image that becomes very significant within the book)    Well, what do you think, friends?
