All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.

Menage a trois movie date with Joe Bob and Darcy with any film you want?!

No worries, Joe Bob.
You may have to discuss dark things - because you're DOING something about it!

If you wait past the voicemail you will reach a live person who will listen to whatever you want to nerd out about. Never alone.

I think the "problem" with CURTAINS is that it wants to a "Hitchcockian" thriller by way of a slasher film... and pretty much fails on both.

I'm going with the theory that the killer is the dead girl from the 1st Act... who's a ghost.
