Awesome what are you working on? I can tell you who to stay away from...lol. I am up in the air as far as getting an agent and going for the bigger companies...I have a lot of friends who are doing amazing as indie authors. I have thought about going indie all the way but I like to have a good editor on my side. I don't want to put something out that is horrible for lack of editing. I'm pretty snarky with my own work and will literally write a first draft, then start from scratch on the second draft before I even head to rewrite and edits. I think for me it really does bring the story out better.
You really know how to make a girl smile...
Several 'little things'; I enjoy short stories and 'ponderables'. Will chat a little more tomorrow...hubby would like a little attention.
I loved that Misery hidden paperback cover.
LMAO! I wish that was me. I love that store too....HI....love your fabrics!....
Neesy
#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
Did you notice the resemblance of the hero on the cover to Stephen King? (that's your hint).
Hint # 2 - have you heard of Annie Wilkes?
Plot: Well known author has a car crash in a deserted snowy area, quite remote - is rescued (i.e. kidnapped) by a fanatic fan who holds him captive and makes him write more books while she nurses him back to health.
(Dang! - I feel like rereading this one next, once I am done with The Wastelands).
...I don't have the pecs for it....
I don't know who the half-guy on the left of the fourth is. Joe maybe?

OMG Talk about a DUH moment...lol. This was an awesome book, but the movie didn't come as close to creeping me out as the book...lol. Still Kathy Bates, AWESOME job...I believed she would do all that stuff and more!
Joann Welcome. My first book went further into horror than I intended I guess. My daughter sent me a 'Thanks Dad, you gave me nightmares' text after reading it. It was my first book, I got picked up by a new publishing company and have only had that experience. But I agree with Di'O bolic, if it feels wrong, better safe than sorry. I just got my second book out, it is a more user friendly tale of Dragons and Elfs. I am working on a follow up on the first one though. I love scary and Mr. King does it well, been reading him since I was 16 that was 37 short ears ago. Looking into the steam punk genre myself actually. Love to chat Horror any time. Best to you.
LOL I had a similar experience with my dad when he read my first published novella. He asked my sister if I needed mental help. I took it as a compliment. I'm up to my fifth book, still waiting for the first four to be re released. The new company has them and my fifth book under contract but I won't be signing anymore. I'm going to put them out on my own. I have been screwed over by an agent, now a company I tell ya, I'm tired of it all. I love to write, that will never change, but I don't want to deal with any of it any more. If I sucked I would move on, but my reviews are amazing and I do have a fan base all be it, smaller than King's ...lol, but still they are loyal.
I'm already intrigued by your writing and I haven't even read it...lol. Send me a private message, I believe they call it a conversation on this forum, for the titles. I'll check them out.

Joann...Who is this directed to? Maybe AB Smith? GG or KFF? Several people have been conversing with you.
Oh, Here is a yummy for you today.
Sorry about that. It was directed to A. B. Smith.
