This is news to me. If I had known I'd have payed more
attention to the imprint - it helps when you know that the
authors were chosen by knowledgeable people (yes, I know they
have a good rep but there's just so much stuff out there).
Can you tell us exactly what you mean when you say
"consultant" - does it mean that you choose all or some of
the authors or that you just recommend authors or what? One
author I have been meaning to check out is John Dale, partly
because he's Australian but more importantly because I've
read some good words about him. Was he one of you
recommendations & either way, have you (or anybody else,
for that matter) read him? I'd be interested in the reactions
of any rare birds who have read Dale (the book published by
Serpent's Tail is DARK ANGEL).
