…that this author is making a million (+) dollars, and I’ve never in my life heard of her?
FICTION: WOMEN’S/ROMANCE
NYT paperback bestselling author Mariah Stewart’s four novels, the first two part of a series, for publication in trade paperback in consecutive months in spring 2007, and the second two hardcovers planned for late 2007 and mid-2008, again to Linda Marrow at Ballantine, for seven figures, by Loretta Barrett at Barrett Books (world).

You’re not so sad, I don’t know who this person is either.:think:
by Teresa October 26th, 2005 at 5:00 amYou need to get out more. :rofl: She’s been a fairly big romance name for years!
by Alison October 26th, 2005 at 8:29 amHey, I’ve never heard of her, either. Ignore Alison. She’s been around so long, she knows or has heard of everyone in the biz.
by Emma October 26th, 2005 at 9:29 amWHAT????
yeah, okay, going to go vomit again, and it has nothing to do with this stomach virus I’ve got.
Maybe we should go out and buy this chick’s books to figure out what she’s got that we don’t. Or maybe it’s just some form of reverse marketting psychology. You know, tell us she makes that kind of money so we buy her books to figure out why so that she can sell enough books to make that kind of money.
Ugh. I have to go lay down now.
by Danica October 26th, 2005 at 4:16 pmUm I’ve never heard of them either. Of course I don’t get out much haha.

by Haven Rich October 26th, 2005 at 4:19 pmI saw this and thought the same thing. Good thing for Stewart, most people do seem to know her. What a great deal - good for her.
by HelenKay October 26th, 2005 at 5:06 pmI think there’s a definite tendency amongst internet-savvy writers/readers to be talking about the same writers over and over again, and be missing out on other huge bestsellers because they don’t write a particular type of book or aren’t a part of a particualr community. You hear a ton about Jenny Crusie but nothing about Luanne Rice, and they are both huge sellers.
