I'll let you know when the book comes out, though.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-21234343913966838332012-06-04T00:01:08.344-04:002012-06-04T00:01:08.344-04:00Thanks, Kathleen,

I'...Okay I want it. Tell me when I can buy it.<br /><br />I've been reading, more or less, an ebook of "Fifty Shades of Grey" I got from the library online, and I must say i agree with remittance girl, the POV woman telling the story, she's kind of an empty shell. She's not there. How does this book sell 6 million copies when there's more complex stuff out there like you;re proposing?<br /><br />Meanwhile I'll have to dig out my autographed copy of "Fire" and check out the old version.<br /><br />This is what I meant last week about short stories being allowed time to grow to adult hood and become novels. Ray Bradbury said "Fahrenheit 451" was actually three short stories ("The Pedestrian", "The Fireman" and "Bright Phoenix") which he overhauled and rewrote into a single narrative, very much like what you;re doing.<br /><br />The lesson - don;t ever underestimate that little short story languishing in the file cabinet. You never know.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-42562601322957458472012-06-03T12:23:10.042-04:002012-06-03T12:23:10.042-04:00This looks fascinating, Lisabet.

(I'm sure I read it because I reviewed the book years ago.) Then I'll just have to read Bangkok Noir. It's hard to keep up with you!Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-15233888881963906982012-06-03T11:20:04.360-04:002012-06-03T11:20:04.360-04:00Lisabet - *standing ovation* I'm so glad you w...Lisabet - *standing ovation* I'm so glad you were able to mvoe forward with this, and that you had the courage to use atypical characters.
