In case you get bored with family and friends and want to spend some time reading…other stuff:

•  This conversation between David Byrne (yes, of the Talking Heads) and Thom Yorke (yes, of Radiohead) may be instructive for authors working on new ways of distribution. And yeah, I know Stephen King’s done this already.
• Have you heard the breaking news that there are some romance novels geared toward women of color?
• Why are writers’ agents important, and what the heck do they do?
• What happened to the great indie publishers? 
• Weep as you read the list of best sellers at Mosaic Books. What is wrong with people?
• On the growth and recognition of the graphic novel
• A response to Julie Bindel’s excoriation of Mills & Boone romance novels

Merry Christmas!
