Why is Feeding the Green Monster an e-book?
My editor at Random House hated the manuscript that I turned in, and refused to publish it. A few other publishers had some interest in the book, but they all wanted to delay publication until the spring of 2002, which would have required a fair amount of reworking the material. My goal, on the other hand, was to get the book out as quickly as possible, and publishing as an e-book turned out to be the only way to do that. For those of you interested in the grisly details, I wrote this essay.
