I suppose I can't fault them for pandering to their audience. It's not their fault that I happen to fall outside of the target demographic.
You try putting out a serious, drama-comic and see how fast it flies off the shelves.
Still, it's a bit depressing when you could replace all of the dialogue in the word balloons with "..." and the story wouldn't suffer for it.
On another note, is there any chance that you'll be adding to The Colony at St. Marie? I read the three parts you had posted on your site and I'm hooked.
Heh. Thanks so much for reading through my stuff! Well, I hadn't planned on any follow-up to St. Marie. It was literally a transcript of a dream that ended right where the story does. I've been tempted, however, to make this little scene the opener for my third book in the "Birds of Kalacria" series.
Before I can do that, though, I have to actually finish and publish the first one. And the second one. ;)
