I turned down a book deal this week. I didn’t even feel bad about it, just instinctively knew I had to say no, that the direction they wanted to take with the book was not the direction that I wanted to go. It’s a scary feeling not having a contract or deadline, scary because [...] We’ve all read the book at some time or another—either forced to read it in high school, or just picked it up for the sake of reading a classic—I don’t know many people who haven’t read Huckleberry Finn. For me, it was Mark Twain at it’s best. But according to Publisher’s Weekly, the book will [...] If you follow me on Twitter, (Of course you are by now, right?
