Great interview, Marc! One must follow where one’s soul takes us! I’d had a similar experience with a different small press publisher who’d once commented that I didn’t have “enough” of a secondary character in one of my earlier books. Really?, I thought? But it was a SECONDARY character! And exactly how are you deciding this? Didn’t you see that it really wasn’t about that SECONDARY CHARACTER? Did you read the entire story? Yeah, I feel your pain. I wish you all the best in all that you do!

And, btw, The Grievers: if your remember, I was in PAIN literally laughing out loud as I read this book! My wife once had to come over from another part of our house to see what it was that was killing me with laughter, I was so hysterical! Yes, a serious subject, but your handling of the story was masterful!
