Copies in an overall sense. It s tough to track down solid numbers, but I would be STUNNED if most of these atheism books have sold even half a million copies world wide. Readers of non-fiction are, over-all, a rare breed. Especially when you discount cooking and self help. Not to inflate anyone s ego, but I think the high sales have more to do with the generally higher level of education among atheists, and they re correspondingly higher interest …
Okay – this reader question is going to exclude some readers who don’t read survival fiction (my apologies – next one will be more inclusive). What is your Favorite Survival Fiction Book – and Why? How about your least favorite? This question must be in the top five questions that I’m asked each week by readers – so I thought it would be useful to have a post that I can point people to for suggestions made by other readers. So what survival fiction …

In some cases, authors can net more than $100, * for a 60-page effort.

Nominations for our Science Fiction and Fantasy poll are now closed, but check back in a few weeks to vote for your favorites! Chris Silas Neal In summer, people like to get away. Some visit the beach, others the mountains. But many of us like to go a little further: to Arrakis perhaps, or Earthsea — or maybe a new dimension entirely.

Even though Shelley, famous for Frankenstein, and a few other writers were able to imagine …
Just a quick share of how the Mac Walker and related books are doing at the Amazon site – the undisputed king of online reading. After a two day promotion, DOMINATUS is back up the charts, currently sitting at a respectable #58 on the political fiction charts. Such a long time on the charts will inevitably bring out the more, shall we say, progressive readers who are none too pleased with the Freedom and Liberty bent of DOMINATUS. There have been …

I do, however, read some paranormal romance novels, because they feature strong, independent women as main characters and have great plotlines. I love science fiction and I’ve read a few of Serrilyn Kenyon’s short stories that I really liked in various paranormal anthologies. So when I saw a brief description for , I wanted to see if it lived up to the description. If I were categorizing …
