Re: Writing in a *done* genre
I know how you feel. I'm writing what I'm calling a "Dracula" and believe I hear those cries "Oh THAT old thing again." But I believe my take and approach are fresh and unique and thoroughly entertaining. Another thing to keep in mind is that these trends come and go and you never know when the wave...

Re: Are eBooks already over the hill?
I wouldn't say they're over the hill, oh no. They're here to stay all right. But while they might be available on the hard drive or server forever, doesn't anymore guarantee they'll be read. What we have--if we don't already--is an overwhelming case of white noise. The thing about downloading an e-b...

Re: Are eBooks already over the hill?
Interesting you should ask that question, because I've posted an account of my experience with putting up an e-book (at Smashwords) and the thoughts it provoked over at: http://www.redroom.com/articlestory/eph ... publishing
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thoughts on "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher"
One book I finally picked up after months of sidelong glances was The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher by British author Kate Summerscale. As I closed it the other night, I decided I was right: Another one I'd waited too long to read. For all crime readers, fact and fiction alike, this absorbing, vivid and...

Re: To e-book or not to e-book?
Hello: Well, as with so many things, it depends. I will use myself as a not necessarily representative example. Last year, I completed my novel Dragon's Ark (submitted to and rejected by Nathan) and have been going the traditional route of querying agents. After I run out on that list, I'll turn to ...

Re: How many projects do you work on at once?
Mmmm . . . think you're about to win another of those Best Agent Blog awards again, Nathan. Maybe they should just give it to you and retire it. I used to be a one-thing-at-a-time guy, but over the years, I've learned to compartmentalize a little more and I suspect in today's online-media driven wor...
