RE/ Robert Stanek,
I don't know HOW he made it into the Sony store, but back before the self publishing revolution, he somehow managed to get a bundle plug right on the front page of the Sony bookstore. He called it "Star Wars with Elves" or some such nonsense.
Not knowing what the heck I was getting into, I took the bait and spent like 50 bucks on his "bundle." And I don't think Sony had excerpts at the time, so I pretty much bit it on the glowing cover copy about how it was being read in schools and this and that....
And then I read the first five pages and stabbed my eyes out with a fork.
