So, I've been kind of worried about the novel. Dark Vision, Shuv'hani, whatever I'm calling it this week, because when you get right down to it, it's technically a vampire novel, and what does everyone keep saying about vampire novels? The market is glutted, there are too many of them, it's cliched.

And then Ballatine goes and pays $3.75 million for a trilogy of vampire novels. Post-apocalyptic vampire novels, no less. Hey, Ballatine, want to look at mine? I'll make it a trilogy for a mere $1million, how's that for a deal?

LMAO. I mean WOW! What writer doesn't dream of an advance like that? Course, they better sell, or his career might be dead.

Even though I haven't heard of the guy, it kind of helps that he's already won an award for his literary work. I'd be more nervous about making the crossover into genre fiction.
