What are you willing to pay

When you go to the bookstore or buy from websites, how much are you
willing to pay for a good book. In other words,what is the max you are
willing to paid?

How much for a Trade Paperback?

How much for a mass market paperback?

How much for a hardcover?

Just curious.

A good book can ruin a decent movie

It’s really sad when you see a movie and truly enjoy it, only later to pick up the book the film was based on, love it, and begin despising the movie version you so recently loved.

There are a few exceptions, for example, Devil in a Blue Dress, Roots, and The Color Purple. Those movies translated well to film.

Can you think of any movie adaptations you loved before you read the written version? And, what was it that made you dislike the movie after reading the book?

If you have not its on Manybooks for free. If you have do you consider the work horror? Do you consider yourself a writer in this particular genre?

At 10:41pm on December 21, 2009, Elizabeth Lampkin said…: Hello Mr. Gaston,

My name is Liz Lampkin and I am in the process of writing another self-help book for women regarding relationships, and I am conducting a small case study. I wanted to know if you could answer the following questions. All answers and information will be strictly confidential. The questions are regarding men and commitment:

1.) Why do you think men don't commit to relationships?
2.) Do you think men fear commitment? Why or why not?
3.) Do you think all men desire is sex?
4.) Please list 3-5 reasons why you believe men don't commit to relationships.

I thank you in advance for your assistance, and I look forward to reading your answers.

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
