I sure am glad that there are a few others who think my POV isn't strange. :-) As a reader, I'm super excited.<br /><br />-NealBookhound78https://www.blogger.com/profile/01920498357072643664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493731062259435592.post-89816714590707368822011-07-31T16:36:48.390-04:002011-07-31T16:36:48.390-04:00Hey Neal,

Yes, it still carries books, but it's a monopoly that wants to kill all independents (so not cool), it does little more than sell trinkets etc and they do have a horror section but it's filled with the holy trinity of Koontz-King-Rice, which is not bad, but I like some more variety and am increasingly frustrated at the lack of small press representation on the shelves. Anyway, it's a huge issue that I won't get into further, but I'd heard similar things about Borders and don't think your POV is strange at all!<br /><br />Hope you're having a good weekend!<br />DarkevaDarkevahttp://thedarkeva.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493731062259435592.post-81128658849097662162011-07-22T10:25:13.775-04:002011-07-22T10:25:13.775-04:00Thank you for the kind words, Gina!

I think it's an exciting time, and I've discovered a number of authors who probably would've never taken up shelf space at my local Borders.<br /><br />I'm always willing to take on new clients, so I would be happy to see what we could work out. I'm actually starting a site for my business at http://www.hockseditingservices.com. It's still under construction, but stop by whenever you like!<br /><br />-NealBookhound78https://www.blogger.com/profile/01920498357072643664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493731062259435592.post-27492151734872902212011-07-21T15:56:25.775-04:002011-07-21T15:56:25.775-04:00Unlike you, I have read numerous blogs about the c...Unlike you, I have read numerous blogs about the closing of Borders but I will admit, and I'm not blowing smoke, that I find yours to be the best. Instead of bemoaning the fate and acting as though books are dead, you are staying positive. Also, I discovered you are an editor, so I bookmarked your blog for future review. I may just patronize your services in the future, if you are up for that. Great blog. Thanks for not making me bust out the tissues.Gina Pennhttp://ginapennfiction.comnoreply@blogger.com
