Darlene asked Josh Lanyon:

I have to ask, how big is a Mass Paperback that your new book is being printed on. Is that one of those small paperback books you see in every yard sale?

Josh Lanyon Hi Darlene,

Mass market paperbacks are always pocket-sized. Trade paperbacks vary in size. So Murder Takes the High Road is a mass market paperback (pocket-sized) and The Magician Murders will come out in the larger trade paperback size (6"x9").

But then Murder Takes the High Road is about 80,000 thousand words whereas The Magician Murders will be about 60,000 words.

So you really can't judge a book by its cover (or layout) ;-)
