Isn't all publicity good publicity? Like all fiction, some will like it, some won't. And it would take a lot for me to stupe down low enough to sue someone. Why should a lawyer make money off my misfortune?jay said:In time, due to my above post, we may even see sirmyk filing suit against me for swaying potential readers *away* from reading him…
I'm nearly finished pestering Amazon to post the synopsis. They are very slow when it comes to site changes. It took nearly two weeks to get the crappy cover image they put there.jay said:...since AMZ doesn’t give a brief synopsis or quote the dust jacket, maybe you could give the good people here a small blurb? Most seem to feel comfortable knowing a book is a best seller, so I’m betting not many will invest in something totally blind.
my publisher said:Michael Bailey brilliantly blends horror and drama, art and pop, wit and mystery in this series of five dark, intertwined tales. With homage to Stephen King, David Mitchell, and Edgar Allen Poe, Bailey beats his own backward path into the deep dark woods of the human psyche and turns everything upside down.
Enter a cruel "palindrome" world: a strangely symmetrical place where disturbing incidents displace the rain-saturated Mayberry calm of contemporary suburban Seattle. A young father fights his suicidal urges. A failing marriage of two entirely unlikable people begins to unravel. An old man given to bouts of mental "whiteness" remembers the cruelty of the orphanage where he spent his childhood and how the "whiteness" began. A psychiatrist strives to understand a mental patient whose several uncanny abilities suggest something other-worldly. A school bully and the gang of misfits he tortures take a playground war farther and farther...
A hidden sixth story, told in reverse and interwoven into the others, uncovers the sad life of the "palindrome" child Hannah and her struggling teenage mother.
Glad to be riding with Lolita...francesca said:My order goes into Amazon tomorrow and Palindrome Hannah is there on the list along with Lolita and a couple of others. Great supportive thread Jay, thumbs up.
jay said:Ok kids. Time to give a writer your support.
Stephen King has enough money.
Anne Rice doesn’t need any more black clothes.
JK Rolling writes for children fer chris’sake.
There are a couple "gross-out" scenes, but they're not that bad, or so I am told (only PETA protests gross me out nowadays). There is some supernatural. And hopefully some scenes will keep you up at night. Mostly the horror within is urban horror... no werewolves, vampires and such. My opinion is that humans are the scariest of creatures.raffaellabella said:So true. So true. Now tell me, is this horror book scary or gross. Because I love me some scary, where I can't sleep at night after reading, but gross and violence does nothing for me. So if it involves the supernatural and such then I'll give it a go.
Somewhat. It's a bit of everything, really.raffaellabella said:So it's a psychological thriller?
