Why subscribe?

I’m a novelist, but for 35+ years I was an intelligence professional. In this newsletter, I’ll be turning my analytic eye on the business of book publishing. The analyst’s motto is “truth to power”, so you can expect me to tell you the truth—thoughtfully, looking at all the angles. I’ll give you my best judgment, just as I did in the old days in a Presidential Daily Brief. I’ll talk to writer friends and share their insights.
