Title: WTF????

So I was talking about the cover, right? Turns out the freaking marketing people at the publisher said it was ‘too SF.’ WTF does ‘too SF’ mean? So now they want to do another cover that’s ‘more fiction’. Okay, first of all, I like the cover. And I think that a guy who wrote the book has a better idea of what his readers are going to like in a cover than some NY publishing house writer-wannabe.

Second: It’s not fiction, lady! I lived through every moment of that freaking story.

I’m glad that everybody wants to read the story, but dealing with publishers and agents and all the rest of the (insert preferred expletive here) has been a freaking nightmare.

Well, I’ve got copies of the original cover and that’s all that matters, right?
