Dear Jerk,
Who do you think you are? Thanks to your awesome cover design on Mark Hodder's The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man
, I decided to buy a fantasy/scifi/ whatever it's called book for the first time ever. Because of Mark Hodder's book, I thought, gee maybe this Pyr Book Publisher might have some other good books. Since March, I've read Twelve
, Thirteen Years Later
, Ghosts of Manhattan
and Vampire Empire
! Not only that, but I still have to buy The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack
, The Falling Machine
, The Buntline Special
and Ghosts of War
! Where do you get off putting out these books? There are other publishers for god sakes but can I look at them? No. And what books do you have coming up in the next few months? 5 more that I want to read now!... Thanks to you and your publishing company, I check writers blogs. Blogs! And I actually like book covers now. Why? I don't know. I can't explain it. Now all I want to do is write steampunk books with magic and vampires and monsters. I don't know how you sleep at night.

Utterly superb.
ReplyDeleteMade me cry with laughter.
I feel really guilty. NOT! :-)
ReplyDeleteI did respond by suggesting a few more books he had missed.
ReplyDeleteSo many good books. And except Ghosts of War I read them all !!!
ReplyDeleteI know I will get a copy of Ghosts of War on my upcoming birthday :-)
I count the days until January 24th 2012 which will be the publishing date of The Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon by Mark Hodder.
I can't wait to read the third Burton & Swinburne adventure.
Pyr is absolutely dangerous for my wallet !!
I am still reeling from B&S number three. Really.
ReplyDeleteBrian Urlacher, Middle Linebacker for da Bears reads Fantasy and Science Fiction? OMG
ReplyDeleteLOL and now you're hooked on Scifi/Fantasy? Could think of worse things...
ReplyDeleteOne way and another I'm reading a lot of these titles too -- not all of them, because I have so many other things I must read for, um, well, you know work, i.e. what pays the rent etc. But I have just finished Lachlan's and have The Twelve here, ready to start.
