What’s the deal with short novels?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 8, 2015 by David BergslandApril 8, 2015

I know, I’ve been on this rant for a while. I regularly get teased or worse because my technothriller, Daniel’s Mighty Men (seen to the left), is 666 pages. How can I expect anyone to actually read such a behemoth? … Continue reading →
