>Isn't she awful? But women keep buying her books. That's how it goes. My agent is a bestselling Romance writer. She knows how to write what sells. I am a Mainstream/Literary writer, which means my books are hard as hell to sell. But a really good literary novel will outsell a lot of the other genres if you are lucky.

I've come to the conclusion that nowadays there are only two kinds of publishing: Daniele Steel and vanity press. And I've gladly put my stuff into the latter category, with zero advertising, no paper... on the Lulu :).

Just in case it happens again that I cannot prove being the first with an idea. I'm a bit blurry with the dates so I can't seriously claim that someone stole my stuff... but then I also don't care if it never happens again either.
