Christopher	Apr 15 2009 2:40 PM awesome. I'll send you a PM later about getting in touch via phone. I first need to get a couple of things sorted with my coeditor, as far as what questions to ask. We're just looking for your thoughts as far as the direction of the publishing industry, especially in relation to some of the shifts we see such as Jeff Gerke's new venture in Marcher Lord Press and the rise of PODs like Lulu, Xulon, Xlibris, etc. and the popularity of "catalogue" style sales (CBD, Amazon, etc.) With those things coupled alongside the downslide of economy and the bankruptcy of many large chains, what do you see in the future of the industry (from an authors point of view) and where do you see this all going? anyway, I'll get back to you in a few weeks at the latest!
Christopher	Mar 31 2009 1:14 PM hey wayne, it's been a long time. I just wanted to drop you a line cause I'm coediting a magazine this year (an annual anthology called BetterFiction) and was wondering if you might be up for an interview? hit me back

His Beloved =)	Oct 19 2007 8:16 PM Bonjour! The Door Within Trilogy is awesome! I just got done reading them, and they were so good that I had to buy the ones with the "lost chapters"! They were better than the Lord of the Rings, and very close to the Chronicles of Narnia! Never Alone!
Wayne	Sep 22 2007 12:52 AM Isle of Swords Release Party Friday, September 28th, 7-9pm Barnes & Noble 4300 Montgomery Rd Ellicott City, MD 21043 (410) 203-9001 I'd like to personally invite you to come to the Isle of Swords Release Party. This should be a very exciting evening. I'll be there doing dramatic readings from Isle of Swords, as well as, a special sneak peek at something else coming in the not to distant future. •Pirate Costume Contests •Special Photo Op Sessions •Snacks •Prizes •Book Signing Thomas Nelson Publishers will even be flying my publicist in to help with the event. Secretly, I think they want to know just what I do at these things. ;-) There may also be local press. That said, the bigger the turnout, the better. I'd like to see that Barnes & Nobles store absolutely swamped with folks...and pirates. I'll be dressed in full pirate garb, including my new cutlass from RealArmorofGod.com. Come if you can. I'd love to see you there! Never alone. Wayne Thomas Batson
Wayne	Jul 21 2007 1:56 PM Thanks, Josh and Erica I will probably increase my My Space presence this year. It'll probably be after October--I have the sequel to Isle of Swords deadline Oct. 20. Never alone! WtB
