Mary:
Have a heart. In today's market, you take what you can get.
Publishers
don't exactly line up to re-sign an author when he's been
dropped by another
house. Would you rather see Gary go out of print altogether?
Kensington,
like every other publisher, makes more mistakes than they
have hits, but
they make enough money on the hits to keep going. And they do
publish some
good stuff, along with the trash.

lapsed
option?
Mark:
Violent Spring was optioned and then looked like it was set
up to go at HBO
with Lawrence Fishburne starring as Monk. Then that didn't
happen and the
rights reverted to Gary. So, yes, another lapsed
option.
