Lee Schexnaider Fri, 23 Mar 2007 20:34:28 +0000 http://www.dragonpage.com/2007/03/19/cover-to-cover-254/#comment-17743 Hello, I have a question about an item that was briefly mentioned in a recent podcast. Mr. Stackpole mentioned that at some point in the 1980s(?) the size of novels increased and left some authors by the wayside. I would like to know what in the publishing industry caused this. I enjoyed the shorter format (Zelazny, Niven, Asimov). When I started to work on my own novel, the minimum word count for a novel seemed extreme. I have also seen more recent novels that really seem (to a former newspaper reporter) wordy and have subplots just for the sake of increasing the word count. And novels that I have read, not knowing they were part of trilogy, really carried this to an extreme. Thanks, W. Lee Schexnaider League City (near Houston), Texas Hello,

He does not have a good reading voice. I think if he were to find a good reader, I could enjoy his books. Perhaps someday I'll give his books a shot in print.
