Frequently
Asked Questions
Why Todd Stone and T.A. Stone?
I use different pen names for different genres. That way, I can look on
the title page of a book I'm working on and see what it's about, depending
on which name is there.
Where do you get your ideas?
That's the subject of a drill in Novelist's Boot Camp, but in general,
look around. There are stories just crying to be written.
Would you
review my manuscript/cover letter/synopsis etc?
No can do. My agent and the lawyers would have a fit. However, for an exorbitant
fee, we may be persuaded to make an exception.
How exorbitant?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Will any of your books
be made into movies?
Contact every producer you know...
What's worn under a kilt?
Nothing is worn--everything is in fine working shape, thank you.
When will we see another Jonathan Kraag book?
The reluctant profiler will be back, but there's a couple of other
projects I'm working on now.
I can't find The Best Defense or
KRIEGSPIEL on my local bookstore shelves.
Drop these folks an email. They'll
get you a copy.
How can someone contact you?
The best way is to send
me email.
Do you answer your email yourself?
My email gets culled of rude comments, business propositions, flames,
spam, and so on. I read everything else.
