To ...Comparables are interesting, to say the least. To use a sports analogy, Lisa, amateur athletes entering the professional draft often have to endure the comparables routine. Their skill sets are compared to an existing professional athlete, a Pro Bowl football player or All-Star baseball player. They'll say he looks like a young so-and-so. Once these kids are able to establish themselves as successful professionals, they become comparables themselves. The new kid coming up all of a sudden looks like them when they were young.<br /><br />We authors are in the same boat, aren't we? I wouldn't mind being compared to a Michael Connelly or Lee Child. Police procedural, or thriller? Bottom line: write as you see fit, publish, and some day you'll be a comparable!Michael J. McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291540010883523862noreply@blogger.com
