The New York Times Magazines had finally agreed to stop publishing the story. But they can't retrieve those that already sold out, which is just fine, it will definitely die down. "Knock. Knock.." "Come in," I said. Andrea opened the door and walked in a few steps. "Is there anything you need Sir, if nothing, may I leave?"

I knew, deep down, that it couldn't be justified—not even by my worries. “I'll contact the publisher and the news”. Silence. I stood up, pacing the living room, glancing at the wall and high windows, the publisher picked up the call and says, “Rockford Chronicle. This is David speaking.” “This is Juliano Bernard. Take it down, the article, the pi tures, the news everything.”, I said fuming with anger. “Mr Juliano, you know how this works. That picture’s already viral. It’s public domain. I can’t just—”

As Mirena reached the elevator and stepped inside, she went back to the recording, completed the message she was drafting and with one single tap, sent it directly to one of New York’s most competent publishing houses. Press-World Media. A smile crossed her lips as she watched it tick blue twice, then she shoved the phone back into her pocket, like she hadn't just ruined someone's life. “That should do the job.”

I stated finishing my coffee. “Who is you publisher?” he asked suddenly. “Aurelius Book Publishing, it isn't a big publishing house, but few of their books were on the bestsellers list already.

For years, Mindy had dreamed of having her mystery works published again. She'd approached Edith countless times, but Edith always had an excuse to push it off. And now, someone was suddenly telling her that her work could be published.

But you have been bitching, for a long time and very loudly.” He raised an eyebrow. “How about all your blogs, Gavin? All sorts of folks read them. Your fans, casual readers, genre fans, industry-people. My personal favorite? The one entitled, ‘Hammer-Fiske Hammer-Heads and Other Publishing Assholes.’” Gavin smiled weakly. “Oh, come on. Every author’s gotta complain about his publisher now and then. It’s how we maintain our street cred.”

“You know when you walk into a bookstore and there are these tables out front displaying certain books, and there are gondola ends, exhibitors. — Exhibitors? “His business, like mine, had its own jargon. “These big cardboard displays, you know? Well, all this promotional material is paid for by publishing company. And they gave me everything, dinner and dessert. - That is great. So, you gave up journalism? I enjoyed another bite of crab and shrimp stew. “It was a gamble, but my publisher wanted the second book out quickly.
