The rest of it is rank bullshit.
I'm happy to talk about the books and how they come about. Books are hard enough to write as it is. The wind-up dancing monkey thing (derogatory) is done.

Yeah, spending any time amongst people who aren't so much writing books but selling books they've written is crazy-making. Performative everything. Got no nose for it, no inclination.

Anyways, filling all this stuff in. Still not likely to start the campaign before May because... marketing.

Him and Lee Marvin. Really a bunch of those guys out there who played past the tough guy (even if the script was trying to strait-jacket them.)

Matt Braly has shared never-before-seen development artwork from his canceled feature film at Sony Pictures Animation.
The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

I don't pay for ads. My books don't get covered by *any* outlet, in any genre no matter how much they swear up and down they're all about the little undiscovered authors. My name got no ring. It sucks out there and yeah, I'm constantly reminded of it.

Seeing some "She only sold 37 books on Amazon!" and folks, ain't a one of my titles sold more than that when self-published.
I get it. She's a scammer and a slopper but if we're talking about sales as arbiters of a minimum of quality, you've already been suckered.
