podcast@indianajim.net (Indiana Jim) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:19:52 +0000

No need to recap the conversation that has been had. It started with Chris Miller stating that the Amazon Rush would no longer be as effective as it had been. It continued when I stated that it wasn’t dead, but it isn’t what a lot of people thought it was. The comments of both posts [...]

Is the Amazon Rush Dead?

podcast@indianajim.net (Indiana Jim) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:25:56 +0000

The original question lies here. For something to be dead, first it has to be unsuccessful. But who is defining success? The Amazon Run sells books. But who is buying them? A discussion with my good friend Scott Breakall convinced me of something intrinsic to the debate: the “Podcast Novelist” audience is not monolithic. There are many [...]

Nightwish. http://www.nightwish.com Did you kinda sorta liked the image Evanescence evoked, but laugh at the obvious comercialization of Gothic imagery and pseudo-hard rock sound?
