I think they should've focused on his success so far and left the projection out of the headline. Projected earnings create a nice, round numbers but they're not useful otherwise. Still, selling $25K worth of books in 3 months is quite a feat. I would say that his "uphill battle" is working...

I share my birthday with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. "A date that will live in infamy!" -David

In 4th grade, I remember my home room teacher had a great library of modern fantasy books like "The House With a Clock in its Walls" and "Timoty and Two Witches" and a book about werewolves that gave me nightmares... My science teacher had (big surprise) the first sci-fi books I ever read...

Welcome! I'm OK with fish. It's shellfish that get me... -David

I was excited to pick up my first 5-star review of The Girl Who Ran With Horses yesterday. :) Book Babe review of TGWRWH Wow. I had never acronymed the book's name before. That is an *awkward* acronym... -David

Heya! Welcome to BAR (which does *not*, BTW, mean Browning Automatic Rifle, which is what I think of every time I see that acronym)! :) -David

Thanks, Peder! If anyone is interested in reading more of my work, I have quite a number of short stories posted on my blog, Guns & Magic. Just click on my name in my sig. -David

Thank you both for the feedback. And for the typos. I'll get those fixed. :) I spent the first part of 2010 sending the novel out to publishers. That is, query letter, synopsis, and first three chapters. Nothing came of that, and I liked the book enough to push it out myself. I'm no...

Chapter 1. Welcome home, Stevie Stevie Buckbee spent the third wasted day of her summer vacation staring out the window at the passing Oklahoma countryside. She twisted in her seat, still trying to find a comfortable position, but no longer expecting to find one. The velour of the seat had...

I had the reverse situation. I've considered reading Desperation, but after reading The Regulators, I've been a bit put off. I liked the story over all, but I felt like the middle of the book went on and on and on ... -David

What I'm afraid of is loss of control. Imagine being rolled up in a blanket or carpet, so that you can see, but you can't *do* anything. And maybe someone starts tickling your feet... What scares me in books or movies? Not so much any more. I can be disturbed. Usually once per concept. Like I...

Welcome! -David

Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia I had to buy it. The library didn't have a copy. It's been a lot of fun to read, though. -David

Welcome! (I'm the guy at swim class, reading a book in the bleachers, waiting for his daughter. Though I do sometimes bring my Kindle. :) ) -David

I do everything I can to stay home on Black Friday. I'm not sure if I'm anti-commercial, anti-social, or both. ;-) -David

Greets! If you bump into my long-departed youth while you continue your search, send it back my way, OK? =) -David

When I was a teenager, still mostly reading SF, I saw the monstrous hardback tome that was the newly released (this was a while back) "Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard. 800+ pages. I had never read anything more than half that long before. The sheer size of the book scared me. But I had to...

I usually notice a lack of editing long before I reach the end of the book. I don't mind long books, but I don't want the extra length to just be a lot of non-story-related detail (The Terror) or the bad situation repeated ad nauseum (The Regulators). I loved the unabridged version of The...

Hola! Good luck with your book search. -David

Eric Brighteyes by H. Rider Haggard. -David
