Forget the money and keep your fame. This is what motivates me (Received via email):
I just wanted to say thanks for writing the best damn books ever. I had never read a book in my life until I read Hal Spacejock (and I'm 15 years old). We've only just got the second book in at the local library but I am eagerly awaiting your other books.
I replied with thanks and a short list of authors writing SF and Fantasy humour, because once someone's been sucked into reading ONE book they might try a few more.

The problem is, when you're famous you get too much mail to answer. When you're not famous nobody writes to you ;-) There does come a point for the bigger names where they can't read all their mail, let alone reply to it.
ReplyDeleteI've only got 4 copies left of Hal 1, but I'm hoping to get some more from my publisher for publicity purposes. Slight snag: they're down to the last handful from a print run numbering in the thousands. I'm hoping they'll reprint soon.
Don't forget to enter my draw for a copy - each time a Hal book comes out I give away twelve copies.
It's messages like this one that make it all worth while!
