Tell and ruin the marketing opportunities? Nah...I think it will be good to have an urban legend.
Which bits did GNS write? Which bits did Willie write ?
Can't you see the mythology growing? This will be great stuff for the radio interviews later in the year.
I promise to be a good boy and not to spread any more rumours, innuendos or marketing ploys...in this forum.

Thanks...I needed that...I've been in a foul mood all day because I can't get the Porsche I want in the right colour.
Anyway...I did release The Wood as an eBook...gave us a huge new marketing base to rerelease all old classics in digital form to. (Gotta love those eReaders and Kindles).
I think a good number of Guy's shorts are great...but that's just me.
No I'm in a good mood again...ta.

Explain to me how you know that he has a small input...tell me. I'm sure in all the long conversations Guy and I have on an every other day basis that he has more input than you a willing to believe.
We are putting out a new book by him this year...a new collection of shorts...we released Deadbeat to a wider audience...Maneater, a new novel came out in February...Crabs' Fury was made available again in September...and we've just finished editing Night of the Werewolf and Night of the Crabs in audio for the blind...so tell me...
..what is YOUR real gripe...when you are getting the old...and new...tell me...email me...call me...but tell me what is wrong in what Guy is now doing?

I promise to give you some free books at the GNS convention in September..that should cheer you up a bit.
Are you grumpy just because you've hit 40? It's the new 30 you know.

We are aware of the problems and are working like small rodents on one of those wheels in a cage, to rectify the annoying problem.
I hate computers...sometimes.
We appreciate you guys putting the word about, too. I've just joined Brian's forum...and will be sharing soon.

Great idea...in fact, I'll drop him a line to see if he would do a forward for this book as well as the new Night of the Crabs.
Don't know why I didn't think of that.

It is indeed an eBook...Guy's first foray into the world of cybermarketing...and taking this book gets you closer to the free novel later in the year.
More goodies to follow.

With The Pike...Cliff had all the financing in place and about three weeks from the start of principal photography, the Scandinavian perfume company that had bank rolled the project went bust.
The actual mechanical pike still exists...two were made and one is in the middle of Lake Windermere...it crashed and burned during the press launch...with Joan Collins in attendance, as she was to have been the star turn.
One of my favourite pulp novels.

It's strange (good) that you mention small press working alongside majors to increase the distribution. We are already in negotiation with a number of larger publishers who have contacted us...not us to them.
My gripe was always the rediculous discounts that the major stores want...now I'm actually ok with that...if the bastards pay on 30 days...but they don't...so why should I give my money to a store for them to play with...not doing it for me.
Guy and I have gone another route...we are working alongside about 35 independent booksellers who have worked with Guy before.
There are plenty of opportunites for small presses (and some are fantastic) but few seem to embrace them. I see small presses spending more time trying to impress each other rather than sell books for their authors.
And people are correct about publishers not working with authors in developing them...GWP are. We are working with six new authors...never had anything read...but Guy and I are shaping their first books into something marketable...and it's fun.
But this all takes time and a change of mind set...on the part of both author AND publisher.
