Amazing.

The publishing house should be sending you Live Long and Prosper postcards for every occasion

Slacker ;) Barbara Cartland, the pulp historical-romance novelist, wrote 723 novels, several non-fiction books & 160 unpublished manuscripts during her lifetime, without the help of either AI or the internet.

I'll be 79... Thanks for giving me a reason to keep going.

so 14 more books? If I live that long, I'll read them

I love @torbooks.bsky.social so much. Please keep giving John contracts so we get more books. Not to mention that you made this 57 year old’s life so much better by giving me several hundreds of books to read over the years. Dad was in the military. We moved every 2-3 years. Books were my friends.

This is one of the few mutually beneficial contract descriptions I've heard.

That’s nice to hear. Because I like to read your books. I’m glad your lined up to make many more :)

Big, if true.

With a 10 book extension it sounds like you don't want to get out.... is this OMW I haven't even started that and most consider it your seminal work.

I might be around long enough for that. Carry on!

Not to put too much pressure, but: I'm glad to hear it

I don't think his contract would count something published as a serial as however many books...

Speaking as a fan, I don‘t feel sorry for that.

Really, publisher doesn't get a say at all? Is this how book contacts are normally structured?
