Congratulations. I tried to get my first novel published, Poker, Pukes and Prophets; and I received 88 rejects. I believe I contacted every publisher in the United States. 70+ odd rejects were computer generated, and the other 18 were a little more on the personal side of a nice...thanks...but no thanks...no one read the one page query....and no one read the book. I self-published thru Createspace.com.
I have another novel done, in the can. I am half done with a third....I am writing because that is all I can do now.....I use to work 70 hours a week, 6 days a week without fail. No vacations...no time off. I made them very wealthy....and got zero...nothing in return. My heart is shot now, and I wrote because I have always written....but now it is for real.
I know a lot of people in L.A. in the Hollywood business....they are without a doubt...the scummiest people on the Planet. I believe that this book business....well, it is a close second. The publishers are Eals....just sucking the blood out of healthy fish. Good luck to you, and it would be good to hear how you got published by a real publisher.

Congrats on the new book. I wish I'd started at a younger age. I guess you could say I'm a late bloomer. Didn't get my first novel published until May (though I've had a few other books published over the years). The audience for OUT OF THE PUMPKIN SHELL is women over forty. So you might want to buy a copy for your mother.

Who's your audience?

At 9:20pm on July 17, 2009, Petula Wright said…: Everything is pretty good! Busy... and tiring. :) Thanks for asking. I need a little motivation to send my children's book manuscript out to agents and I really need to stop procrastinating on other book projects. Doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. Any tips?

At 10:35pm on July 16, 2009, Miss Remmers said…: When was your book released? It looks really interesting.

At 10:07pm on July 16, 2009, Ronald G. Parsley said…: Yes, I will take a look at it. Just remind me, got a lot go on right now.

At 9:41pm on July 16, 2009, Petula Wright said…: Congratulations on the upcoming publication of your book! That's fabulous.

At 6:06pm on July 16, 2009, Ronald G. Parsley said…: Thanks for being my friend and welcome to Ohio. I just had my first book published this past February. A Cop in the Sixties can be found at amazon.com as well as many other online book stores.
