Hi, Michael. I had a short backstory to this question but it would not fit, so I'll cut to the chase. What is your opinion on a business model like Kickstarter which focuses entirely on publishing? It is an idea I have nurtured for some years now and would very much like to already exist for me to browse.
Michael J. Sullivan
Yes, there is such a thing. It's called
PubSlush
(which, personally, I think isn't the best name - as "slush" to me is generally the unwanted manuscripts).
Pubslush also offers a way that people can pre-order books, which is kinda a nice feature.
Of the two, I still prefer Kickstarter...mainly because it has a huge community that is always on the prowl for cool stuff. I had a huge number of people who contributed to my Kickstarter that hadn't read any of my books before -- they just got wrapped up in the excitement of the project.
In any case, I do like to support crowd funding for books so I'll be checking out Pubslush from time to time.

Has anyone mentioned that there is a small "glitch" in the downloadable version of Age of War? I can't pinpoint exactly where in the recording it is, but at one point in the story a voice comes in and says "End of Disc 10". (At least, I'm pretty sure that's the one - I didn't bookmark it to go back and find it again.) That would make sense on the CD's but it is pretty jarring and unnecessary on the download.

Hello Michael, I'm looking into reading your books because of recommendations on goodreads. I noticed your influences include Stephen King who most would say falls in the category of horror/thriller. King is one of my favorite authors and I was wondering if you write a darker fantasy or if they are filled with suspense like King's books? Maybe like the suspense and adventure from The Dark Tower series? Thanks!
