I think it was a shame that her cover was blown ..accidentally or not, as it did demonstrate how 'hype' influences reading choices (for the record, my editor at Usborne was one of those who was sent her first Harry Potter book & didn't remember reading it at all...) Re Dan Brown...like that 50 Shades woman, it is all jealousy. BH is reading his books atm when he goes to work on the train, and yes, he does agree that they are a bit lacking in depth and some of the research is a tad dubious, but he says he's really enjoying them. Sorry, isn't ENJOYING a book supposed to be what readers do? I bet if all the carpers and critics sold in such numbers and made Brown's money, they wouldn't be complaining. You don't like his schtick - go write your own ''best seller'' .....H_cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295724299415783170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1164684531570048336.post-13814951120267544902013-07-30T01:19:31.706-07:002013-07-30T01:19:31.706-07:00Another writer's take on the same story: http:...Another writer's take on the same story: http://katiemjohn.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/you-cant-give-up-day-job-robert.htmlTCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053437802878060775noreply@blogger.com
