Happy birthday, Simon!

FWIW, I highly recommend Working Stiffs. A great collection of exciting short fiction that's a real bargain at 50% off.

I really didn't realize that Dorchester was an indie publisher. I saw the madison avenue address and assumed they were big corporate.

But, I love your site, I love your blurbs, and your cover designs are pretty much spot on. That's just about everything I look for when I'm book shopping (especially in the indie scene)

You've moved to the top of my to buy pile. Next round of cash, I'm going to grab your stuff. How do you compare to Lee Childs?

The more I read about DorPub the more I like it. Must keep them in mind for my own submissions.

Thanks Jaxx,

Having met Lee Child, I'm about 12 inches shorter and I have dark hair.

Writing wise, Childs' Jack Reacher is a confident hero. My characters are vulnerable people in situations of their own devising and aren't naturally equipped to deal with it--at first.

Hi,

For what it's worth, I think Simon's writing is great. His characters are people dealing with situations in which they're over their head. Great action, intelligently written.

I've never read Lee Child (though I hear good stuff about the guy now and then ), so I can't compare them. However, I have read Simon's work and it really is awesome.

Best,
Debbi

Thanks for the kind words, Debbi.

On another subject. Amazon has discounted another of my eBooks. Last week, they dropped the price of The Scrubs to 99cents. This time, they’ve cut the price of Working Stiffs to $1.59.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VWKG2C

Descritpion: The workplace is a dangerous place. The unscrupulous are primed and ready to take advantage of the innocent and naïve. A slight indiscretion can cost the employee everything. A new position can turn a person into someone they are not. Those at the top can be toppled and those at the bottom can be crushed. Some jobs are worth killing for.

That's interesting, Simon. I keep hearing authors say Amazon is discounting their ebooks. They haven't touched mine, which is currently priced at 99 cents. I'd say they couldn't go lower (I thought 99 cents was the floor), except that Rex Kusler's Punctured was reduced from 99 cents to 79 cents. Maybe at his request? (Just a speculation.)

Best,
Debbi

I'm guessing that there's some fancy calculation is picking titles. I don't think Amazon is listening to writers. :-)

Say it ain't so!

One thing is for sure. Their sales data reporting system has gotten weird.

Great review, Simon. Being compared to Westlake is more than awesome. Congrats!
