To make a bestseller, there are more customers than just your customers: Selling to the end-user is just one piece of the puzzle. In my case, I needed to first sell myself to the publisher to get marketing support and national retail distribution.

Luxury, to me, is not owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.
