“I loved fantasy, but I particularly loved the stories in which somebody got out of where they were and into somewhere better - as in the 'Chronicles Of Narnia, ' 'The Wizard Of Oz, ' 'The Phantom Tollbooth, ' the 'Dungeons & Dragons' cartoon on Saturday morning in the '80s.”

I've drunk Amazon's free Diet Coke. Nothing makes more sense to me than a company trying to make bookselling into a profitable business. I'm not anti-Amazon, and I'm not pro-publishers either. I'm pro-books.
Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.
And I'm not as young as I once was. At my age, I don't have time to be bored.
I'm happy to report that 'The New Press' is still in business to this day. But not thanks to me. I was a really bad publishing intern.
