    author interviews: first novels

    i recently conducted author interviews on my blog, and thought i'd share the answers here as well. =) Q: Tell us about your first novel. Adam Roberts says: My first completed novel (there’s a wilderness of abandoned drafts compacted into the “first completed” part of that phrase) was...

    Question regarding Amazon pricing

    i also think it depends on what you're selling. mine is a short story, and a lot of shorts are on there for $0.99. full-length novels, i would say maybe around $3.99. "hunger games" was selling for about $5, so being only slightly lower than a major bestseller may attract readers - that's how...

    Ingress: A Tale of Ranoa

    No one knows who built the Gates. They are older than Stonehenge. Older than the Pyramids. Older, even, than the earliest fossils that have been unearthed. They seem to have begun at the beginning of time, woven into the nature of the fourth dimension – as much a part of it as the seconds...

    The Hunger Games Trilogy

    i too was hooked by this series!! i've read all three books and it's certainly one of the most entertaining reads i've had over the past year. and i'm also on team gale ;) as for 1st vs. 3rd person narration - personally, i'm also a big fan of 3rd person for writing purposes - it gives...

    Prometheus

    i admittedly expected a lot more from this movie. there was just so much hype that i had really high expectations. - plus, ridley scott has such a great reputation, who would have thought he'd screw this up? the special effects were entertaining enough, but that's about it. charlize theron's...

    Question regarding Amazon pricing

    i was thinking about this similar situation before i self-pubbed my novelette, and i went with selling it at $0.99 for increased volume. personally, i want to spread my books as far and wide as possible, and thus, hopefully attract a broad audience and build a readership. can i ask how long...

    Why I'm interested in self-publishing

    there are advantages and disadvantages to both. the waiting game of traditional publishing can be hellish, i agree. but i went through 10yrs of querying - yes, it's usually an uphill battle and a marathon of endurance - and now, i actually don't consider that time to have been a waste. i...

    Inspiration from places you've visited

    travelling is definitely a big inspiration for me. my worldbuilding is largely based on real places - the real world just seems extremely epic and fascinating to me. for instance, a couple of months ago, i made a trip to iceland and got tons of inspiration! =) the landscape there is so...
