Hey thanks so much for posting this @Gary Oswald there were some awesome questions to answer!
And I'm planning on following this up - eventually - with some sort of 'Reviewers Guide to Publishing A Book' that looks at what I've noted from the past couple of years

What you said about cliche Axis/Confederate victory settings not necessarily being bad is similar to my own observation that cheap thrillers succeed and fail mostly on execution.
Oh yeah, I mean our very own @varyar has proven that with In and Out of the Reich; and I'm about to send Gary a review for Yesterday's Dreams, a short story collection by Tom Brook that's set in his Withering of Eagles setting in which Imperial Gernany triumphed in the Great War
It isn't that hard to create something imaginative and engaging in even the most cliched of scenarios like Confederacy Triumphant or Third Reich Triumphant; it's just easier to roll along with the cliches and try and bring in a few readers like that

Great Interview, but I can’t help thinking that Adam Selby-Martin is the name of a 1930s Liberal MP who then joined the Commonwealth Party and then Labour.

A fantastic interview; and thank you for the shout-out(s)!
This, as the kids say.
My apologies for not being able to publicise this one on Sershal Meedja till now (fortunately work should make it more possible from next week) - is what I would have said, except now Twitter has decided to crash. It's on Facebook but may have to wait till tomorrow on #WeAreTheFourteenPercent.
