The work generated by these threads has already garnered me an agent, and maybe I'll get a book published.
Go for it! You'll generate sales, and I might even join your book club as a spectator.
Now that the last book in the trilogy is a completed work and in print, I will take a breath, take some time, and focus on marketing. This type of thread is a very good idea. I’m also going to look into this new-fangled “facebook” and “twitter” thing.
I’ve had lots of agents and editors puff me up, and it’s great until the Editorial Board of Angry Liberal Lesbians gets their say. Then my books get the axe. They are just too anti-PC.
And the two conservative publishers are too dim to reach out to conservative fiction. Ann Coulter or any talk show host can put together any 100 brain farts and they’ll be published. But not conservative fiction, they are too high-brow for that! Unless it’s 50 year old fiction by Ayn Rand. But current fiction? No way! (There’s a reason it’s called ‘the stupid party.’)
