I have met several "Chuck Tingle's".

I also worked to break the algorithm that "he" used to get on the USA Today list.  Used it to get some of our authors on.

Publishing is a racket, I know, I'm in the industry and I'm a "Bestselling award winning" author myself.

My first few jobs out of college were in publishing. One included being the ghost writer for Fabio and answering his fan mail, circa 1996. The old timers here may recall.

I had other even more degrading publishing jobs.

I feel sorry for you.  I hope everything turned out well after all  :grin: .
I'm guessing it wasn't just female fan mail  :evil: .

Don't feel too sorry for yourself.  I, for one, would have happily degraded myself with Fabio's castoffs.  :lipsrsealed:

Everything turned out just fine  :ThumbsUp:

Ghostwriters nowadays are pretty well respected and some of our best paying jobs.

I love kicking their asses in our monthly Team Lounge Trivia Nights though.

Damn Gus. I thought that was Fabio that sent me hotel room key.  :doh:
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

^Sorry to disappoint but that may actually have been Fabio.

A big chunk of my professional time now is spent ghostwriting for the executives where I work who do not have the time or the inclination to write on their own  :tophat:

Now I know who to get to write all those AAR's I've been meaning to write. You work cheap?  :grin:

Oh.... you are on buddy.... we need to get some sort of virtual trivia night thing going for wargamers. Damn that should be possible.
