“Exploring the Dark Side”
January 4, 2008 @ 7:14 am

From today’s edition of the Lindsay Post:

The cover of the Spotlight section of the Lindsay Post, featuring a cover story on Ian Rogers.

The online version at ThePost.ca

It’s more than a little surreal to wake up and see my big freakin’ head on the cover story of a newspaper. All I could think at first was, It’s a good thing I brushed my hair that day .

I can’t think of any better way to help get my name out there, which is what I’m all about doing at this point in my career. It might even result in a few people picking up one of my stories, which would be even better.

I’m afraid that’s all I can say at this point, folks. I’m still a bit in shock.

    12. Dang, can I have your autograph, sir?

    I guess I better get it before you get so famous I have to stand in some ginormous line at B & N to get your sig.

    Big congrats, Ian. Looking good and impressing the masses.

    Happy New Year and continued success to you!

    Hugs,
    Fran

    14. Ha! Thanks, Fran. I don’t think I’m at the autograph stage yet. But if you want to stick that big picture of my head up on your dart board…

    Shell — Thanks, buddy. I appreciate that.

    15. We are so proud of you! Think of it as practice for when you are on the cover of Time. Very handsome picture by the way.

    17. Here’s one more Lurker to your list. That’s very cool. And you can hardly see the plugs in the photo.

Random Writing Quote

"Early on, I decided that submitting my fiction to markets that didn’t offer at least a token payment was a waste of my time. I never submitted stories to markets that paid nothing at all (i.e. “4theLuv” markets), or markets that paid in contributors’ copies. If an editor wasn’t willing to invest at least a token sum in me, I wasn’t willing to invest my talent in him or his product."
