Right Result Wrong Reason

More than six years ago Barbara Rollins
with OAStepper were putting together
A Cloud of Witnesses -- Two Big Books and Us.Each had a book published by Eagle Wings Press
but we wanted to publicize the new book.
We decided to publish a poem each day,
call it Recovery Daily Dose and sell books.
It didn't particularly work.
Eighteen hundred twenty-four books classified
Christian Books & Bibles > Bible Study & Reference >
Meditations > New Testament sell better.
In two other classifications it does far worse.
But the poem-a-day begun in preparation for marketing
has six years, two thousand one hundred eighty-nine poems,
and this begins year seven. It may not have sold our books
but it's done wonders for us. Thank you for reading,
for coming back, and for keeping the authors coming back!
