Allrighty. Snrk snrk.

Oh, and- race you to the publisher's!
You forget that my mother's a literary agent. I already have a few publishers that are interested. There is no racing involved. I'm basically doing EXACTLY what the eragon douche was doing except I actually have talent, so I should make even MORE money... right?

Awh, ok. I'm not looking to be a novel / film writer anyways, but I'll still race you to good reviews!

Wait, let's make this interesting. First person whose stuff Kittie Rose likes WINS!

No one wins. =[

Max? Never saw that coming, but okay.

Seriously, when you get published, I want a copy. That really does sound like a good idea. (I am thinking, "What We Should Do to Those Super Collider Guys.")

I can lobby a couple of local stores for you as well, depending on what you want to do for distribution.

Theoretically. But that Eragon stuff was aimed at children. It doesn't have to be good for parents to buy it.

And Dom, Maximilian is AU/MP's real name.

The fact that my character's career as a serial killer prepares him for being a politician may not sit well with parents... but as long as I slather neocon beliefs into his speech it should be okay.

For a second there, I thought no-one was thinking of the children.

You will sell piles in red states.

Joking aside, is this similar to the whole "criminal CEO" thing?

Seeing how this takes place in a society based off of Renaissance italy, but with robots and cyborgs, and is just as much about murder mysteries as it is a heroic fantasy novel from the dark overlord's perspective... er... no?
