The One-Drink Book Club is an informal, (almost) weekly series in which fellow author Emma Lee Jayne joins me and our other creative friends to talk about the life, business, and art of writing and making books … for the duration of one Friday-afternoon drink.
Here’s what we talked about in this episode:
Reading order: do you read in publishing order, chronological order, the order books were written, or some other order?
Are we attached to the characters in a series or the world itself? (Watch for the place in this one where I say “The Beam” when I clearly meant “Dune.” Did you know what a great series The Beam is, according to me in this episode?)
How sequels to a book can ruin a book you loved … and the different ways we deal with it.
Who also wrote romance despite being known for writing some other famous genre?
The different motivations of various writers and matching what they deliver with what readers actually expect … which became an AI and James Pattern sort of discussion.
