CONTRACT!!!!

One of the best words a writer will ever see or hear is "contract". Back in 2006 I was offered my first contract with a small e-publisher, Triskelion. At the time, they were up and coming. I did my research. I talked with other authors at the company. I googled the company. I did everything I could think of to make sure I was making the right decision before I signed the contract. In June of 2007 my first book was released. It was bittersweet because two days after the book was released, the company claimed bankruptcy. I was devastated. Besides feeling like I was being stripped of my dreams, the whole bankruptcy process is one I never want to have to be a part of again.

Moving on isn't always easy, but it is necessary. So, I moved on. I kept writing. I kept putting my best face forward and eventually found my happy place again.

I have always been a big defender of those authors who have decided to go the e-publishing route. I think e-books have a place in the world of publishing, and while I don't think they will ever take the place of paper books, I do believe there is a very strong market out there for e-books.

After my experience with Triskelion, I was very leery about signing with a small e-press again. However, I think I found a wonderful home at THE WILD ROSE PRESS.

The title of the book (that's if they don't change it, which happens all the time in publishing) is REKINDLED. I have no release date yet, but I will be sure to let you know.
