Kathy Tyers and her literary assistant, Jamie Upschulte, have a guest post featured at Stephanie Shackelford’s Routines for Writers blog. Check it out here.
And don’t forget The Hobbit. Tolkien reotrwe the chapter on Gollum and Bilbo when he started work on The Lord of the Rings. I don’t have a problem with new releases if there is some value being added and the author/press are up front about what you’re buying, but selling the old book with a new title reminds me of a used car salesman giving a worn out junker a new coat of paint.
I tried this once with someone I knew from work, she was talking to me but I wasnt focused on what she was saying, it was like I was studying her for the first time. It seemed odd like she was someone I had never met before. I need to try this more often, thanks.[]
