    Oh, do I ever have thoughts on self-publishing. I considered my path to publishing from an age perspective. I do not want to wait 2 years or longer to be picked up by a publisher. You are younger and can afford to wait. If you're lucky enough to win a contract I doubt it will be a one-book deal. Another time problem for me--arthritis is fast moving against my fingers and wrist. Be prepared to have your story "picked apart" by a publisher, most have templates their authors must follow. Know your genre market! If you receive a contract be sure to have an attorney review it.

    Self-publishing means having enough money to do it your way: printing, PR, marketing, distribution costs, book cover, etc... You must wear many hats, be business-minded and forget about the muse, for a while. Ha!

    I'm saving my pennies.

    Let me know what you decide. But for now enjoy that you've finished your baby. Congratulations! Pop a cork!

    I'm busy working with the edits on Whispers From The Mirror.
    It's a completely different write from The Seduction of Mr. Bradley.
    Not at all a sequel to Mr. Bradley.

    I waiting for your "BuKaKe." Sounds interesting. How are you going to publish it?
    I'm reading the last L.A. Banks book, "The Thirteenth," and sticking with it no matter how it turns out. I've been reading the Vampire Huntress Legends from book one and Need to see it wrapped up.
