An echoing thud reverberated through the room as the book landed on
a pile of others just like it. Miles grabbed another from a separate
stack and set it in the recently vacated space. Smooth ink covered the pages
in a loopy signature that read Miles Parker. He dotted the i and, at the top
of the page above his signature, he wrote “Happy Reading!” He tried to
write some kind of quote or phrase whenever he was signing, but after
being at it for hours his threshold for long-winded messages was at its limit.
The bookstore wanted some exclusive signed copies, and they were paying
a pretty penny for them, so Miles slaved away at his agent’s insistence.
“Are you paying attention to me?” Benjamin asked, his voice tinged with
annoyance. That same annoyance was evident in every line of his body,
from his crossed arms to his tapping toes. Benjamin could easily be
described as “high strung.” He wore stress and worry like a seasoned jacket
and thrived off it.
“Not particularly,” Miles snarked, grabbing the next book to sign. He’d
been at it for three hours already, and judging by the remaining pile, it
would be another three if he continued going at this pace, which wasn’t
very likely. Around the room books were stacked in various piles. There
was a system to the organization, but Miles couldn’t begin to figure it out. It
looked like the setting of a scribe’s room in a fantasy novel. The perfect
setting for Miles’s latest book, actually.
“Well, you need to start paying attention. We need to work together if we
want to gain some traction with your next deal and have it go through
without falling flat.”
“I thought I hired you to take care of the details? Why am I paying you
fifteen percent to make me work more?”
“You know you’d be drowning without me. I make this a world easier for
you, but I can’t do it without a little support and help on your end.”
“Isn’t talking to you now support?” Miles teased. Ben’s scowl was answer
enough. Miles continued, “I tried sending Larissa an email, but she never
responded. I’ve also emailed other editors there and was rejected. What else
am I supposed to do?” Miles asked, frowning deeply. He didn’t want to
admit it, but the rejections were hitting him hard. He’d been the fantasy
darling basically since he began, so rejection was new. He could always
move to another publishing house, but Miles was not a quitter, and he had
his sights set on this particular one. It was something he desperately
wanted.
“My contact in the agency said we might get a positive answer if we
change your public image a bit and you do some interviews that redact
some statements you made in the past,” Ben admitted. “I think we should
follow that advice.”
“I’m not going to take back what I said in interviews,” Miles said, aghast
at even the thought. “That’s disingenuous, and makes me feel like a sell-out.
