For those that have been following my interview series with FPW at my blog (http://www.accidental-author.com), the third installment (of four) will be posted later this week.

In this installment, FPW discusses digital publishing and the pitfalls of book piracy, as well as his thoughts on the evolution of book-writing in the digital age.

In addition, he discusses a little bit about Black Wind.

And there is a fun little tidbit...I have a personal letter from Stephen King that he wrote me when I worked at a library while I was in high school (as a part of a Stephen King theme month). In the letter he mentions that one of FPW's books taught him a lot about the literary value of horror.

Anyone care to guess which book it is?

I love this interview. You hit some topics that I haven't seen covered in other interviews with "The Man". Thanks for posting it, can't wait for part 4.

Stephen King accused me of being literary. What's up with that?

That had to be my single favorite moment of the interview, when I hit you with that, and your response was "My book?"

But, Paul, feel free to not change your modus operandi...plus, there's not much money in literary fiction...I can personally attest to that.

This is shaping up to be one of the best interviews with Paul that I've read. Great Job! Heck, it may be even better than my interview (dinner) with him when he stole my guacamole! (granted I hate guacamole )

Very kind of you to say...and if you are interested, don't forget to enter the signed book giveaway at my blog: http://bit.ly/kAQLcs
