Have you read any Konrath? I'm wary of his advice because I find him to be the literary equivalent of shovelware. Yeah, you can make money on it, but I don't want it cluttering up my hard drive. He's a big believer in the concept of putting out as many SKUs as possible. Quality doesn't seem to be as much of a driver for him.

On the other hand, I'm all for shorter novels. So hey.

I enjoyed Peter Cline's Ex-Heroes, but Ex-Patriots wasn't as good and they weren't up to Grossman's level by any means. Also if mixing zombies with superheroes offends, well, Cline does that. I will read those other three, since I haven't yet.
