According to PublishersWeekly, there are signs the sales of FSoG are tanking slightly. Whatever. As I've said, I tried to read it and stopped a few chapters in. The writing was just too bad. Bad enough that I'm rethinking submitting *anything* to any imprint of Random House, if this indicates their current editing standards.
However, being the happy corporate hack that I am, I just pitched a series of surrealist BDSM-inspired paintings to a gallery. I've had the idea for this series for almost 7 years, but FSoG has made such a noise that the gallery owner was interested in cashing in on the frenzy. And I'm hoping that all the folks reading James' work go on to read other things. Maybe even my books, someday.
I don't think James can repeat this stunt. In a decade she'll be another piece of distant history.
