It’s a bad romance—
Between the art and writer:
Passion fuels writing,
While distressing the author.
It’s sheer fantasy;
A million copies will sell.
Until it goes live…
True? False? Nobody can tell.
A killer suspense:
Will the book succeed or fail?
Check those sales reports;
The numbers will tell the tail.
It’s a mystery:
Who posted that book review?
To figure it out,
One must study every clue.
