And that's BEFORE running the gauntlet of slush.Kate Paulkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034983693134240754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-58114024267845178442010-12-31T16:36:43.586-05:002010-12-31T16:36:43.586-05:00Hmmm...

As is, the dead tree people aren't interested, so Impaler would need to sell well to get their attention.<br /><br />Facts of life ain't always pretty :)Kate Paulkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034983693134240754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-27421373952060755412010-12-30T18:01:06.388-05:002010-12-30T18:01:06.388-05:00A) Awesome.

Y'see, I enjoyed Impaler so much that I highly resent the fact that nobody has put out a dead tree version of it. Impaler and your novella are definitely something I want to be able to enjoy in a comfy chair accompanied by the tactile feel of pages turning.C Kelseynoreply@blogger.com
