One that got away


Read the review today of a book I was supposed to (help) write, but didn't, because it went to a different publishing house (presumably because they offered more money, though I don't know for sure).

That's happened a handful of times and in all cases, I've never read the book that resulted. It's an odd experience - almost out of body or even alternate history. I don't feel any animosity - there's none there; it's a purely theoretical business thing.

Weird though.

Excellent book, at least according to the review. It's also pretty high on the best-seller list.
