Canadian eh?

Hi Friends! Even though our dollar has reached par and beyond the American dollar; our bookstores aren't lowering their prices for Canadian authors. For instance my novella, " Tag...You're Dead" sells for around 16.95 US, but our stores charge between 20 and 22 dollars. Why? Plus, I would like to know where the money trail goes from books sold at the store to the middle man to the publisher and finally to the author. This is nearly impossible.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.

At 1:09pm on January 28, 2008, Ken K. Chartrand said…: It was first released in the late fall of 2005. It is constantly for sale because it was published by a Print on Demand publisher. It is available from amazon.com or barnes and noble and most online book stores. It has to be ordered by typing in the search box, either the ISBN# 9781424101146 or buy typing in my name. It has been confused with another title "Foul Play"(Tag,your dead)by a Brit series writer from the past. My Title "Tag...You're Dead" is different in that it is the main title not the secondary. Any way
sales were sluggish the first year due to the "familiarity of the title. I could have given it a diferent title, but had I known this but it is still a legit title for a couple of reasons;1. It has a slightly different meaning than the other and 2. the story is fiction of a serial killer, which also happens to have a threaded romance through it. Hope I answered your question.
