I know, I know.
"Action and Adventure" is not exactly synonymous with Jon Clinch. Either my work or my person.
Still, I've been getting some ideas lately. Not about taking up bullfighting or alligator wrestling or digging for pirate treasure. And not about writing about that stuff, either.
But about where in the world (of literature) my real work may sit.
Because for the last few months, Amazon's sales rankings have more often than not found Finn doing pretty darned well in the Action and Adventure category. Which puts me right up there with Clive Cussler and Robert Ludlum and James Patterson.
Go figure.
Also in the running, though, are folks like Mark Twain and Cormac McCarthy. Which makes me feel a whole lot better. Although sometimes Jodi Picoult shows up too, which makes me start wondering all over again.
Oddly enough, Finn's rankings as a Kindle book are in the literary category. Where I feel more at home. Although Finn himself may disagree.
What do you think?

Jon...Im out of my league here, but will venture an opinion...I think Finn is on a good path. Its got some good popularity, and with popularity comes success...success will give it longevity...with longevity will come a rediscovery
and with that will come the reevaluation of the writting and its literary ranking.
This is more a reflection of the reading public than of the work, but it seems that this is how literary classics are born...
