What’s wrong with this publishing picture?





Amazon’s top 20 free best-sellers (10/31/11)

1.       Mormon love story – female author
2.       Mystery – female
3.       Thriller – uknown
4.       Romance – female
5.       Religious fiction – males
6.       Game
7.       Romance – female

10.   Romantic suspense – female
11.   Romance – female
12.   Action – male
13.   Romance – female

16.   Romantic comedy – male

Here’s a big assumption – there are a helluva lot of bored housewives with Kindles out there who are looking for a freebie (probably in more ways than one).  I'd hate to see the closeted Harlequin collections that never sold in their garage sales.  Surrender the fantasy, and give that crap to the thrift store, ladies.  As for your e-reader, I'd say "remove from device" and join goodreads for better reading recommendations.  Damn.
