I dunno, but I have always said that he's a better writer on his bad days than most of us are on our best.
I'd love to have just 10% of his sales!

true i'd love to have not only his Talent but his money as well but we all would love that. i do hope your book does good for you my friend maybe not Stephen king famous most writers i doubt even get that kind of famous or that kind of money either. i doubt King would have even thought that the book IT or any of his books would have mugs, T-shirts, Comic books etc...

but you never know man you just may have a movie or a tv based off your books stranger things have happened man

wow that's amazing man congrats you could not have asked for a better reception i use good reads too have you looked on there? though they can get really harsh on there at times at least when i look up certain books they do.

All my other books are listed on Goodreads; I bet this one is, too.  I don't use it as much as I used to.

i use it sometimes i don't often post how bad a book is though but the worst book i ever read was for school called The Zero People it's a kids book i forget the grade it was for a book report it was given to us.

i dunno the author but i did look it up on amazon and that one is really hard to even find on there so that's how bad that book must be lol. anyways,
on good reads if i end up loving a book and i'm curious what some may think about it and i see them give it 1 or 2 stars cause they are ripping the book and the author apart i stay clear of them cause you can't change their minds. one of my favorite authors is Piers Anthony and if you've ever read his stuff  you will pretty wonder what the hell is wrong with this guy?


on how i read his stuff is just simply this i shut my brain off and just enjoy the book, king's books can make you think if you read the right one and apparently yours do as well which is an even better compliment than you can ever get i think or one of them anyways.   but with Anthony i get why there's a lot of hate for this guy i man a lot of hate it's gotten even more so i think in the past oh i'd say 15 or 20 years or so and there was review i read of the current book i'm reading where the person who made a reply on it that said i only read him just to mock him and i thought why would you even want to waste your time reading an author you hate, you must have really no life at all ya know?

but than you can have good conversations in the comment section too about the book you are reading or just read. i do hope though you haven't gotten any really bad replies though for your books

I've gotten a few negative reviews over the years.  They are part of the game for an author.  You can't take them personally.

i've never published any of my poems so i wouldn't know, i remember Stephen King has said through the years well he's said the same thing as a matter of fact he's said he tries to ignore them but he always ends up catching some of them and after all these years it is still painful to read

I may have asked this before, but do you have an agent or do you pitch directly to publishers?

I never had any luck finding an agent.  Fortunately, I found a publisher who was willing to take a chance on my books!
