Calling all authors

[john]

You have just been asked that most frequently asked question-"what's it about". You have about six seconds to answer. Give us your best retort or reply.

[Jane Greensmith]

Since I write Austen sequels, it's about what happens next.

[john]

Good answer jane, way to go!

[Trish Collins]

I assume authors don't like to be asked this question since you asked for authors' best "retort"?

[john]

Every day somebody asks me " Whats your book about? " I retort when I know I have enough time to tell them. Ex-- "about 120 thousand words" Its a lighthearted response that helps break any ice that sometime forms when your pitching your novel.

[Kristin Callender]

Is Amanda's truth in the hands of a stranger or in the hearts of the people closest to her?

Excellent reply Kristin. Mysterious and thought provoking.
