There's always a home for a good story and I know yours is good. <br /><br />It is eyeball-freezing cold here.

Glad to hear today is much better. Um, I have an odd question. Is any other publisher going to be okay with publishing a book tied to the first book, but the first not available for them to publish as well? I'm just trying to understand. <br /><br />Hope it warms up for you! <br />Blessings for a good day!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-47938653215653254852012-01-05T09:17:51.254-05:002012-01-05T09:17:51.254-05:00It's been cold here too, but not nearly as muc...It's been cold here too, but not nearly as much as where you're at. Here in IL, we're having an unusually warm winter. It feels like early spiring or late fall still. Monday and Tuesday it finally dropped to the 20s which is still high for an IL winter but at least it's below freezing. Now it seems to be climbing again to the 40th. Most people don't mind the lack of winter this year, but I did notice a pattern. If the winter is warm, then the summer that follows is usually on the cold side. I would rather suffer through a cold winter and get a good summer.<br /><br />REF: Story<br /><br />I second Maria Z's advise.

The article was a little ambiguous.<br /><br />Ref: story<br />If I had it to do over, I would've kept the sequel with the same publisher. They're going to promote it more than a 'second choice' publisher.<br /><br />So you could do one of two things. Massage the story and resubmit, or tweak the story as a standalone and sub to someone else.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
