Loving the song…

Driving along the highway to House today, I was listening to a song by Nick Hornby and Ben Folds.

Have a listen. 

The first two verses are so pertinent.

young-charles-dickens

 Charles Dickens created 13,000 characters in his life. So I decided to count up the characters in my books.

Sixty seven…

Huh! I’ve got a long way to go to catch Dickens.

And then the next verse:

In 1450 there were 100 new books published.

Now there is a book published every 30 seconds.

I am a writer whose books are part of those incredible statistics.
