Who is Melinda Snodgrass anyway?

After eight years as a novelist which included the publication of her CIRCUIT trilogy, and co-creating, editing, and writing for the Wild Card series, Melinda began her career as a story editor on STAR TREK:TNG, and wrote the Writer's Guild Award nominated script THE MEASURE OF A MAN. She worked for REASONABLE DOUBTS, and PROFILER, wrote six pilots, and had one produced and aired, STAR COMMAND. She is currently working on the third book in the EDGE series, has delivered the first book in a new urban fantasy series, and is starting on the second.  She has two screenplays currently under consideration in Hollywood.

“If H.P. Lovecraft and H. L. Mencken had ever collaborated, they might have come up with something like The Edge of Reason . This one will delight thinkers--and outrage true believers--of all stripes.” --George R. R. Martin

A Book Seller’s Take

Posted by: admin

Tagged in: Bookstores , Book sales

I was referred to this blog post by a writer’s chat group to which I belong, and I found it very interesting and enlightening for any folks who are contemplating entering the weird and wonderful world of writing. There is a somewhat condescending tone to the post, but it’s filled with valuable information for writers so I gave that a pass. In my other life I run Western Minerals and Oil LLC, and I have to make hard choices based on business models so I found this peek into how chain bookstores operate to be particularly helpful. And in the interest of full disclosure — I’m one of those writers who was skipped by Borders. We’ll see how adversely this affects my sales. I’ve long ago learned not to go crazy over these things because in the words of the inestimable Daniel Abraham, “We are all gamblers.”
