Makes Me Wonder
Watching the whole Neil Gaiman thing blow up is interesting, given his genre prominence over the years. Much like JK Rowling, it'll be curious to see how much his predatory nature will affect his sales.
I never got into Gaiman's work, even as others raved about it, so I can't judge him as a writer. It's interesting to me that people are getting pissy about other people never getting caught up with Gaiman -- it's like they're projecting their own discomfort with lauding a writer who turned out to be a Grade A predatory creep and sexual abuser.
What's to say? Gaiman's fall (?) won't translate into sales for me. As a marketing proof point, all I can say is that I'm not a predatory sexual abuser, but will that drive sales? Most likely not.
I'm not a bigot nor am I an abuser. All I do is write stories across genres. I have a dark sense of humor and am a rampant smartass. I try to write compelling books. Is that enough in this world?
