I definitely have to agree with this observation. I've
noticed this
trend in my store over the last few years and have talked to
quite a few
authors who have confirmed it. It especially affects the
perennial
mid-list authors, whom a lot of publishers are dropping like
crazy. If
you're not an established author with a long-running series
featuring a
recurring character, or don't fit that
mystery/thriller/romance
crossover target (eg J.D. Robb, Iris Johansen, Tami Hoag,
Sandra Brown.
Notice a trend?), the publishers don't want to hear from
you.
