Hi... gratuitous friending, here... I want to go back and read this a few times. Thanks for the insider's view!
I am especially interested in the, "However, she can't get another book deal to save her life," comment.
Is this a frequent occurence? Isn't it the publisher's fault, for giving the author too large an advance? Or was your comment more about the poor performance of the book than the fact that the advance wasn't met?
Can a book be written that only INTENDS to sell 8000 copies? I guess your example (mass market) doesn't really apply to that...
