Vampires and werewolves are hot right now. Politics and moral questions are hitting the fan. Violence among rich people has become a cheap, dime store and soap opera subject.

How do you decide when to release a certain novel? Would you rather be an opportunist and risk being swallowed up in a torrent of hype or put out something more controversial?

...Or just do it as it comes and let the chips fall where they may?

I don't think it really matters all that much. If people like what you write, they'll buy it.

True readers don't really care what the " hot topics " of the day are. They read what they think is good.

Plain and simple.

10 copies, I'll make a note.

300k if I'm really, really successful.laugh

Really. Is that 10 one of each if it's a really, really, really successful series?
