Questions Worth Asking (Maybe)

How did LucasFilm (Disney) exec Kathleen Kennedy get JJ Abrams to agree to direct Star Wars VII?
That question is answered, along with a great look at how Kennedy went from being a PA to one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.
What does author Stephen King think about guns and gun violence?
Read his new Kindle single and find out. (He’s not keen on them.)
What are the financial realities for genre novelists?
Writing genre fiction like science fiction, horror or fantasy is not the easiest way to make a living. Interesting blog post from Galley Cat. (HT @BookRiot)
Does an independent film shot at Disney theme park violate Disney’s intellectual property rights?
Probably not. Fascinating look the legal rights surrounding an unusual film.
