I think of my books as mainstream and that's were most people who read them look for them in book stores.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was lucky enough to be given books that weren't top sellers; books that were kind of under the radar.
I've been around long enough now that people who don't get into the outrageousness, the over-the-top stuff, they know not to buy my books anymore.
There are a lot of wonderful books out there that aren't marketed properly, and readers who might love them never even know they exist.
My first four books were not published because nobody wanted them. They were adult books, not kids' books.
My books didn't fit a marketing niche.
I read a lot of books to my children, and they all seem really good. I think people have gotten really good at children's books.
I've always viewed myself as a brand. When I started 10 years ago, that was very controversial. 'Marketing' and 'PR' were dirty words for the literary world, but that has changed. Once the book is finished, I want as many people as possible to read it.
I've always been a big fan of books.
I've got lots of books sitting here that have never been published because nobody could make any marketing sense of them.
I read a lot of obscure books and it is nice to open a book.
