theory9, excellent, many thanks for the support! Re: shameless, you haven't seen anything yet. Wait until the book is actually solicited. TV spots, viral marketing campaign, popup ads, subliminal messaging, mind-altering drugs in water supply.

Yes! Guilted another one into making a purchase! Pledges to buy book retail: 4! Ongoing series, here I come! Are you sure you want me to sign it, though? Then your copy won't be in mint condition.

But seriously, I really appreciate the support.

Well, I know that feeling. They turned down my first Epic sub. They turned me down at DC when I was working for the company. And book publishers...let me count the ways. Nearly every major American publishing house has turned me down at least once.

My creative baby (not Northwood) started life as a comic book back in 1994-1995. I shopped it around. The reaction was, "You know, this would make a better novel." Fast forward to 2001-2002. I have turned the comic series into a prose novel. I shopped it around. The reaction was, "You know, this would make a better comic." It was then that I finally realized something. Rejection-letter feedback is silly.

Like my Epic rejection letter. It said that I wasn't ready to write for comics. I guess that wasn't true after all. And it certainly wasn't true in and of itself. It's a ridiculous blanket statement. There are all kinds of comic books in the world, not just Marvels. Epic doesn't need to send out a rejection letter on behalf of the entire industry.

So I'm glad you're not going to let Epic discourage you.

Thanks for having me, Brian! But please, call me Marc. I insist. [wink]

See, theory9, however shameless these plugs are, they aren't shameless enough.
