“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

"When every third paperback — not only trumpets the blurb encomium of some author only slightly better-known than the person who wrote the book itself — impertinently declares itself a HUGO NOMINATED or HUGO CONSIDERED or HUGO NOTED or HUGO WINKED AT book, well, to be kind, the cachet has long since been tarnished beyond even the aid of Brasso. Common sense, which seems to be a commodity in short supply among amateurs who reside more in the Land of Urban Fantasy than they do in the realm of pragmatic business career, ought to tell writers and their editors and even the nameless drudges who write cover blurbs for Tor and Berkley and Roc, et al, that when a phrase like 'Nebula Winner' has been reduced to the level of white noise, to mere bibble-babble, that it has lost its exclusivity, has lost the power to generate any electrical clout of exclusivity. The analogy holds for the slathering of 'SFWA Member" on an unsolicited manuscript."
Harlan Ellison
