Okay, so you're saying it took you two geniuses 20 years to come up with ... that?

And he was amazed, having read it before and after, how easily it fit right in. But to me, the best little suggestion, and this shows you how we worked back and forth, is we had finished the second draft, Owen was off doing his stuff, and Neil raised a question. He said, “So Owen’s imagining that his mother didn’t really die in the fever, that she’s off exploring things, but he really knows that she died.” And Neil wondered if we should do a little more with that, resolve it somehow. And I wrote back, “Well, she really is dead; I don’t want to make her magically appear somewhere.” But then I thought, Wait, we’re talking about multiple parallel universes and what’s to say she doesn’t exist and didn’t do that stuff in another universe. And then I had the idea that he finds the story of her adventures in Pangloss’s little library, where he buys books from other dimensions. And I think that’s one of the coolest little jabs in the heart in the book, when he finds the book that his “other mother” wrote.

A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel represents an artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson and the multiplatinum rock band Rush. The newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peart’s lyrics that has been expanded by him and Anderson into this epic novel. In a young man’s quest to follow his dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steampunk and alchemy with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life. The mind-bending story is complemented with rich paintings by the five-time Juno Award winner for Best Album Design, Hugh Syme.

Of course, they do publish his shit; quite a lot of it actually. They just think that the name 'Kevin J. Anderson' does not sell a novel on its own.Freakzilla wrote:Or, all the publishers know that I'm a hack and don't want to publish my shit.
