Kindle has given authors the freedom to sell their work on an (almost) equal platform. Hooray! Take that, bearded, sock and sandle-wearing ladies!Shalini Bolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167146743839968458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-20473545918611101652011-06-07T15:43:45.295+01:002011-06-07T15:43:45.295+01:00Here, here!

When I started writing I went to several literary conferences just to be looked down on when the ladies wearing socks and sandals and beards discovered I was a "genre" writer, which, as they all know, is so not literary. Really? Various dictionaries disagree. And I went through workshop after workshop that doled out wristslaps for using adverbs-someone better alert the 20th century greats! I call myself a candy writer, and the books I read-all candy. I just want to get caught in someone else's passion without being knocked from the story by "brilliant" or "bad" writing alike.johanna frappierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764446262466298552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172750544124698740.post-80730335638104557512011-04-10T23:06:42.838+01:002011-04-10T23:06:42.838+01:00A.M.

Not too many more years now before that will be history.<br /><br />Very much like the look of Hidden (Saffi and I have an adult dark fantasy novel due out in September) and will buy it soon as my bank sorts my card.<br /><br />Would love to do a feature on my blog (www.markwilliamsinternational.com) in the near future. Check it out and let me know if interested.<br /><br />MarkMark Williamshttp://www.markwilliamsinternational.comnoreply@blogger.com
