My question is how can indie authors get 3 copies on those shelves in the first place?

I've gone all-in on being an independent novelist, relaunching my first novel in January and launching my second in July.

But the marketing plan is 100% direct-to-consumer. Brick and mortar placements are HARD.
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I can’t remember the year, but probably Jr. High (now called “Middle School”), but a male teacher — unfortunately can’t remember his name — read us ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ (by Alexander Dumas, released in chapters from 1844 to 1846). He did it yearly. Took all semester, as I recall. Mr. Jensen?

Trump boycotted the G20 conference. If he didn't have our economy to use as a cudgel, none of these people would give him the time of day. He knows it and didn't feel like pretending they're all friends for photo ops while they all actually think he's petrified dog shit.

Dear Trumpers,

Feel free to shit blood and die in the aisles of Whole Foods with a bottle of raw milk in your hands.

Just because you're too stupid or ignorant to understand science, that doesn't make it a conspiracy.

But I give up on trying to stop you from stupiding yourselves to death.

Didn't Robert Kennedy sing the praises of raw milk products? 10 people were made ill by raw milk cheese and the FDA has issued its highest level health alert for 5,000 pounds of cheese.

The "peace" plan is just a grocery list of ways to appease the Russian beast at the expense of #Ukraine's sovereignty.

More proof #Trump is a shitty deal maker and #Putin's butt puppet.

Traitor J. Trump is a cowardly whiny loser: bad for America, bad for the world!

"Why aren't the Democrats talking about X?"

Because they knew you would. Duh!

Why are you trying to change the narrative? Afraid the the felony evidence tampering that has you feeling so confident will be performed as incompetently as the Comey indictment?
