Re: OH Moral Dilemma: What Would You Do?
On second thought, I'd tell them to keep the money and that I'd do it for an admission of inaccuracies and inconsistancies by KJA and BH.

That was one of my first thoughts, too. I picture the conversation like this:
Powers That Be: "Sales are down, Kevin, like for three books in a row. We're concerned. What should we do? Wake Bobo up? We need answers here or else you might have to go leech off another dead author's work."
TheKJA: "Well, it's not my fault. I hike out Perfect Prose™. I'm a best-selling author! I've never, ever made a mistake in my life!"
Powers That Be: The figures don't lie, Keith ... whoops, sorry: Kevin. Maybe we need to get some fresh blood working on this series. Hmmmm ..."
TheKJA: It's the Talifans! And their hate sites! Even though I continually brag that there's only five of them out there, I'm now convinced that they are completely, totally, utterly responsible for the drop in sales! It's them! Buy them off! You'll see! I'm Kevin J. Anderson, by God! Nothing is ever my fault!"

Re: OH Moral Dilemma: What Would You Do?
I guess it just depends on how much you might need the money, Chig. I don't think anyone here would hold it against you if you decided to take it. When it comes to money all bets are off. Like others, I don't envy you in this decision, but you have done much already.....more than anyone for the cause. My only advice would be to counter offer for more up front.
Whatever your decision, good luck.

Re: OH Moral Dilemma: What Would You Do?
I don't think he's coming back...
If it's a shagload of money - it might be worth it. You've been prominently front-of-house for so long there is now this "one guy" perception - Opening up the field a bit could kill that myth a bit
(...and I'm sure you could of course still brief against KJA behind the scenes )
On the other hand, if it's anything less than a shagload - tell them to forcibly insert it where the sun don't shine

Re: OH Moral Dilemma: What Would You Do?
I would miss you terribly if you left. I'd have to hang out with that looser Talos Aquinas.
Personally, if it was anything less than medium to high five digits I wouldn't even consider it, but I don't need much money to get by happily, and I know some people definitely can use whatever they can get their hands on.

How much money are you talking about? For an obscene amount of money, I'm thinking six figures in hard currency. Mmm, the thought of someone giving me six figures is making my mouth water.
