Dealing with competition

It is not really competition because I doubt she  is competing against me although I felt she was overshadowing me. A dear friend whom I respect and valued dealt me a blow and I am still reeling over it. The blow? She just had a book publish and her friends are singing her praises.  Karla and I share some friends in common so when my book was published and I let everyone know, who was singing mine? Only one and that is another dear friend of mine.  It is hard for me to deal with it.  I love Karla very much but when I  wrote to her about my book, she said something to the affect, "I don't read."  I never once asked her to buy my book although she was mentioned in the acknowledgement.  Her cover on her book  looks better than mine and what are the odds her book will sell better than mine?  She could very easily publicize her new book better than me.  Oh how I hate having no income. Here I am saving for who knows what? WordPress.com or AuthorsDen? I really don't know which way to go. Maybe what I should do is have a book signing anyway. Save up to order more books from PA and ask Target (Not Walmart) or some other business if I can host a book signing in their business. Or I could  call up Barnes and Noble and ask them.  This is something I need to pray about.  It is hard for me to trust God in this situation but I am trying. I just pray he will give me the grace I need to make it though another insignificant day
