Episodic vs. Narrative

I found this article in the Wall Street Journal illuminating: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204886304574308530848197684.html

But it seems to be pointing the same direction as so much publishing news these days: alas, I'm out of step! I am definitely in the Episodic camp... just feels more like truth to me.

Where do y'all fall?

This one succinctly captures so much of what's in the book. And it's local, which I like...… Continue

Strange Request! (Need safe for author photo...)

If anyone knows where I can find a freestanding combination safe (the older and/or cooler-looking the better), all I need is to stand next to the damned thing for a few minutes while a photographer takes some pictures. I need this for a magazine cover, and also possibly for an author photo on the next book...

Much appreciated! Thanks!
