Welcome to Beyond the Books, Darrell. We can start by telling us whether you are published for the first time or are more published?
Are multipublished.
What was the name of your first book, regardless of whether it was published or not, and if notpublished, why?
The Pet Plague was my first, after writing my first computer and learning how easy it is to write and correct mistakes with him.
For your first book published, you must go through a lot of waste, has found a mainstream publisher, self-published before it, or pay a vanity press to publish?
For seven years I wrote, I was the subject of a huge fraud by a series of wrong "agents". I was rejected becauselied when I said my manuscripts sent to publishers. My first book was published Medics Wild, a publisher in the league with crooked crooked agents. A few hundred copies of the book were ever printed.
How is the rejection you feel and what you have done to overcome the blows?
I almost stopped writing after discovering how bad I was cheated. The e-book industry has been my salvation. I became one of the best-selling authors veryE-books, and that is in competition with the top names in the printing industry who have posted their e-book.
If your first book was published, who published and why did you?
Commonwealth Publishing, the company name wrong now defunct, published Medics Wild. I have them on staff recommendation wrong.
How does it feel to become published for the first time and how to celebrate?
I felt wonderfulNow until I learned all the facts. I was celebrated by creating a lot of purchases, I do not pound for it.
What was the first thing you did as the time for promotion, if the first were published for you?
Signatures.
If I had to do it again to him, had chosen a path different from yours, to be published?
Sure! I was very naive. Dealing with these agents wrong, probably my career back ten years, and at my age it is difficultthat many of the savings! After an agent is the best way to go, but never pay an agent whatever.
Have you been published since then and how did you become an author?
Yes, I have had at least three dozen books and published many stories. I became an icon of e-book industry and have won every major award possible (Fictionwise Author of the Year, better known best science fiction novel in 2002, Double Eppie Award for best young adult and the bestAction / adventure novels of 2007, and the dream realm Award, best science fiction novel of 2007). Almost all my books are in print today. higher the sun, I had enough of being science fiction novel growth induced by Travis S. Taylor together. And 'co-author with John Ringo of the best seller of von Neumann's war, and has published several books with Baen Books. Our book will be published in July 2008. After asking me aCo-author was the best compliment of my writing career. I would add that my writing has evolved over the years I've learned some improvement from the little tricks of the trade, but nothing can replace the more for writing and writing.
the first days, when you try to publish the benefit of hindsight, what he could do to speed things differently? What mistakes can be avoided?
I doubt that could speed things up quickly by the declaration area real agent, or simply try to find a publisher without an agent. The same applies to defects. I had to do some research on agents rather than pick a name at random, as I did. I was incredibly lucky to choose the worst evil criminals in the business.
What has happened to the largest since he became've earned?
Asked to meet with Travis and published under my first hard disk, Savage Survival. All these prices are not badare!
If you could chose a different profession, what would the profession?
Astronaut
Want to stop being an author by profession or have you combined the best of both worlds?
Yes, at this stage of my life, I would. My wife says it would accept a ride on the Space Shuttle, even though I knew that beating 30 seconds after launch.
How do you see yourself in ten years?
Alive, I hope! Seriously, I am still writingBooks and stories, but sells more than me today.
Any final words for writers who dream of one day publish?
Yes Writing is hard work. And writing fiction IIS a profession in which the supply, demand far more street is ready to be the toughest for a long time. One more thing to write: the best way to improve your writing. And write. And write. And .....
