And when you write for an anthology a contract is involved which often prohibits the materials from being published elsewhere with caveats for Year's Best Anthologies and single author collections.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-29661836616554743002012-05-30T01:45:08.779-04:002012-05-30T01:45:08.779-04:00I wish the short stories were sold elsewhere like ...I wish the short stories were sold elsewhere like kindle singles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-47431451726456517222012-04-19T15:16:52.551-04:002012-04-19T15:16:52.551-04:00I never put much faith in Amazon's info unless...I never put much faith in Amazon's info unless I find it elsewhere.<br /><br />My comment about a long run is more about the future. Recent interviews have Jim mentioning he needs a break from Dresden. <br /><br />For quite a while he was publishing two novels a year, which is a pace I still find amazing. As much as I like the shorts they are still a tease. I'll still be there for the bigfoot run. Those have awesome fun written all of them.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-83985023623329124632012-04-19T14:12:16.688-04:002012-04-19T14:12:16.688-04:00Actually, while it's not set in stone, Jim and...Actually, while it's not set in stone, Jim and Penguin are still shooting for Fall 2012. Amazon has been known to fabricate release dates. I have no idea where they pulled January from, but they clearly didn't get it from the publisher.<br /><br />Also, <i>"Those hoping he would do a run of a couple Dresden books in a row will have to be disappointed."</i> -- What do you call the Dresden-only run of "Changes," "Side Jobs," "Ghost Story," and "Cold Days"? Plus the short stories beyond Side Jobs: "Even Hand," "AAAA Wizardry," "Curses," the Bigfoot trio, and the Molly-POV novella, all of which were published or will be published without any non-Dresden work published in between? Any fans disappointed by the lack of "a run of a couple Dresden books in a row" have very short memories.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650336668287562112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-63822676918102142682012-04-19T09:46:14.418-04:002012-04-19T09:46:14.418-04:00No I really was just tired of everyone belly achin...No I really was just tired of everyone belly aching that I didn't fall over the book. I've never been a strong or particularly good writer and nor have I claimed to be. And anonymous comments like that are just baiting BS, which I find I have little time to care about these day.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-26934536893790126702012-04-18T15:31:28.282-04:002012-04-18T15:31:28.282-04:00Or maybe you stopped comments on that blog post be...Or maybe you stopped comments on that blog post because the last person to post a comment (which you deleted) actually called you out on your shitty writing and comprehension?<br /><br />Too late.
