Hypothetical* Questions Re: HEAVEN

So, let’s say I was talking to an agent about the combination of HEAVEN and HELL as one novel. And let’s say said agent wanted to know what genre I’d put this in; what books I would compare it to. So, if that actually happened, I figured a good idea would be to ask you, [...]

New Media Talk from Scott Sigler
