"that’s the current anatomy of my novel" oh. you should collage the scraps into puppets representing the personalities of each novel, then have your books battle it out on a punch-and-judy stage.

But the truth is--I sell best in trade paperback and it would be a risk to put me out in hardcover considering Underland is, although entering the market at a high level, a new publisher.
