I have to admit though, that I wish I could have read Post Pattern by the pool in paperback. Of course, I am in the older generation -- but a good read like Post Pattern deserves to get a little dog-eared and wet like all of my old Nero Wolfes, Spensers and Phillip Marlowes...<br /><br />Cheryl L.

The ability for up and coming writers to set friendlier price points can only help.<br /><br />Great interview, both the pitching and the catching.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.com
