Thank you for the suggestions, I will have to go through some of those.

Yes, fantasy please.

For my day job their big failure is not looking at supposed short term savings against long term costs. So the question is, do you write for short or long term financial success. For long term financial success (which is how I see financial success) it will require a quality to the writing...

I figured someone would bring up Game of Thrones, but that just isn't what I am looking for.

This right here is the important part, her trapping her locks has a lot of meaning that is shown by that simple action. The eyes are the window to the soul and she is hiding.

You could have him confronted by a Native American that truly follows their beliefs.

I am looking for a good book that has the pov of the hero/good and villain/bad. I can't think of any written like this at the moment, but I have probably read a few like that. So any good suggestions :)

When I think of the self pub world I think about how large it is so I wondered, how does he choose his books. When you look at the page it seems like the books he reads are those that authors submit, so the question is what writer would send his book to him to see if it could pass his test?

I thought the article was pretty good, although like everything else the rules can be broken. The thing is it is a matter of skill, I think someone with skills can take a cliche and really make it work. Now if I was a crime writer my challenge would be to start a story with someone squinting...

If you dig through some of the articles, it looks like he has an editing service. Sorta puts things into perspective.

I read the sample of "The Phoenix Guard" and for me the amount of details was too much. I picked up "Dragon" and it seems to be written in a different style, but it couldn't hold my attention.

I would consider D&D and WH as a different category, would be pointless if it didn't have elves and dwarves and gnomes and halflings, oh my.
