Halloween Blog Bash with David Mack

Oct 26, 2010 14:45

I don't know what it is about my authors and torturing their characters (see also guest blog by Diana Pharaoh Francis), but when it comes right down to it, I have some of the best in the field. Case -in-point, David Mack, my guest-blogger today and, oh, everything he's ever written. His latest, on sale today(!) is Star Trek: Typhon Pact - Zero ( Read more... )

Torture is good. :) It keeps readers turning the pages.

Those whom David Mack wishes to destroy they first make mad.

You sir, have a good understanding of good storytelling. Our hearts are moved when we care about the characters and care about what's happening to them, when we enter into their experience and taste it as our own. Reading your "Destiny" trilogy was a very spiritual experience for me. Universal themes really resonated with me. Well done!

a fellow philosopher i see. however i must point out. ive read most of your books (not all i'm afraid) but i havent really noticed this torture you speak of. yes, they go through hell. but who doesnt? truthfully i dont thing your alone doing this to your characters, its my understanding that its fairly common. i did the same thing is my CAE project.

nonetheless you still remain my favorite author
anyway, just my 2 cents
