Reissue of my most recent novel

Norilana Press has just reissued my most recent novel, Business Secrets from the Stars, in trade paperback and hardcover editions. I'd say that it's the funniest and most biting political and social satire ever written, but that would be immodest (and, heck, even possibly not true).

1. Congratulations, David

How did you initially get your stuff published? Are you able to write for a living now?

2. It was a bit easier when I started

My first novel was published by Pocket Books in the mid-70s. There were many independent publishers in those days, including Pocket. It was common for authors to send queries directly to publishers and to sell to them. That was the route I took. Sent out a lot of queries before Pocket expressed interest.

It's been up and down since then for me. My last few books were published by a very small press, Wildside Books. Norilana is reissuing this one and may be reissuing others.

No, I don't live off my writing. How I wish I could! The income from it is minimal, at this point. I still work full time.
