If they're going electronic, my royalties are better when they go directly through the publisher's website. But I really leave that to the reader.

I've always been drawn to stories about the WWI aces -- in fact, at one point I'd started a novel. <br /><br />Not a lot of stories set in that time period -- partly because it's as tragic as it is romantic. <br /><br />The poetry is...amazing.Josh Lanyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944091956589831656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099994787637655882.post-62435010164544213712009-08-25T11:05:37.895-07:002009-08-25T11:05:37.895-07:00That particular time seems so romantic (in the tra...That particular time seems so romantic (in the tragedy-for-a-generation way - the poems, the "war stories" from family, the memorials that dot even this far flung bit of the empire), that an HEA (or so is my hope) from then seems particularly wonderful. Oddly (possibly because I'm "blessed" with relatives from England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales), I've read little from your neck of the woods during/immediately post-WWI (barring mentions of American fighter pilots joining in before the government declared war and a few stories about "barn-stormers), so am looking forward to this.<br />Cheers :)<br /><br />p.s.

I even get tired of family and friend get-togethers pretty quick, so booksignings and conferences have never held great appeal. *g*<br /><br />You do have to balance the needs of readers with your own needs. Readers like you to be accessible, and culturally we've been conditioned to believe this new and crude idea that we're entitled to know anything about anyone who catches our interest. But the vast majority of people are civilized and sensitive and respect the boundaries.<br /><br />I try and be accessible without giving more than I'm comfortable with.Josh Lanyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944091956589831656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099994787637655882.post-58382750327323430542009-08-25T05:21:41.125-07:002009-08-25T05:21:41.125-07:00Josh, is it difficult to remain anonymous?
