Dinner with Eric

Hat tip to Eric for the kind words on his blog. He was passing through yesterday and we had dinner in Leesburg.

We agreed on how much better Civil War publishing is now compared to 10 years ago, how the model is has moved from commercial appeal to value added. Publishers seem to be asking, "What's different about this manuscript," rather than "Does it tell a great story even better?"

He has been part of that shift, as has Ted Savas and so many others. That's something to celebrate anytime.
