I discussed forming a group with Steve more, and longer, than with anyone else-- the idea may well have been his-- and no one worked harder than Steve at recruiting members, getting the project off the ground and keeping it going.

I mentioned that Stephen King had released an uncut edition and pulled a 'George Lucas' on the book, which caused me to google 'harold lauder candy bar', which eventually led me here.

With luck, everyone was like me and had a password specific to that site, so the threat to leak a dead password didn't work. As for the longterm success of the site, Stan Soper is probably best suited to judge that. It was a cool idea, but it doesn't appear as if the cell phone novel idea really took root here in the USA. Much of the publishing world seems the same as ever. There's the genre stuff, there's the NPR/college stuff, and so on. I still find interesting things to read, but one has to dig. Along those lines, if anyone is looking for something fun to read, might I suggest a Wred Fright novel?Wred Frighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628263242413308661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685827318837084791.post-36788619865948488532021-07-18T15:23:35.727-04:002021-07-18T15:23:35.727-04:00Good Afternoon, I don't think Text novel shou...Good Afternoon, I don't think Text novel should be closing its site...potential publishers and authors will miss.<br />Maybe, A new one in the future?<br /><br /><br />Lisa ColemanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272759326398407696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685827318837084791.post-27835347037340051602020-09-27T20:14:54.343-04:002020-09-27T20:14:54.343-04:00I emailed Richard.
