Forgot to answer the length question: I'm finding a comfort zone in the 75,000- to 100,000-word length. Most books from Grisham, Patterson, etc., are on that lower range, while more full-bodied thrillers tend to be at the upper. Clancy is an exception, a guy who gets away with the really long pieces now.

I sent you a freepmail regarding post 327.

How many pages does 75-100,000 pages translate to on MS Word or in print - I know it depends on font size but just a ball park figure - what would you say, what size book are we talking?
