Christopher Rice:
The Heavens Rise was phenomenal. You signed my copy in KY last year, I mean in Kentucky last year.....hahaha! Will your new novel The Vines be released in Hardcover this year?
Christopher Rice
Thank you, Justin. Was that the signing at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington? That was such a great event. To answer your question, THE VINES will not be released in hardcover. 47North, and all of Amazon's imprints, focus heavily on digital and trade paperback. I will say, though, their trade paperbacks are sturdy handsome things and I'm incredibly excited to see what they're going to do with the cover. Part of me welcomes this change, if only in terms of price. For years now, many of my readers have been telling me they can't afford the hardcover when it first comes out. Now they won't have to wait.

Chris, I have been a great fan of your novels since my junior year of high school, when I read about the newly-published A Density of Souls. The Snow Garden could be an incredible suspense film! Have you ever been approached for film options for that or any other of your novels?

Christopher Rice:
Hi, Chris. "The Snow Garden" and "A Density of Souls" are my favorite Christopher Rice books. Being under contract and writing for deadlines, how long do you have to write a novel? And how many drafts do you write before anyone else sees the manuscript? I look forward to THE VINES. I love your books.

Christopher Rice:
As an Indie author, one hurdle I find is successful marketing. Getting someone to notice you when you are swimming in a sea of fish is often overwhelming. I refuse to give up though. Could you pass on some secrets of the trade to us little people :)? I would appreciate any of your advice. I also want to wish you the best of luck with all your future. The OutQ interview was great. I have nothing but admiration for you.
