The Changing Face of Publishing

I attended a business workshop for writers over the weekend and discovered that several of my firmly held beliefs about publishing were actually oft repeated myths. Wow. What an eye-opening experience.

And ultimately, what a freeing experience. Have to say, I’m more excited about my writing and my opportunities in this odd business than I’ve been in several years.

There’s a hurricane brewing in the publishing world and the first winds have reached the shore. Check out a few of the recent posts by folk like Dean Wesley Smith, Michael Stackpole and passiveguy.

What an exciting time to be a writer!

It’s Derby Day!

I love the Run for the Roses. Am anxiously awaiting the running of this year’s Kentucky Derby.

Horses are part of my family heritage. My dad trained and raced harness horses, but he loved watching the “running horses” too. Lots of good memories tied up in this race *VBG*

Later!

ETA: Now THAT was a horse race! Well done Animal Kingdom…though I did hate to see Shackleford edged out of the money. He ran a great race, just not quite enough oomph left for the end.

SALE! (What a nice word)

I just signed the contract for a short story I wrote for an invitation-only anthology.

*squeeee!* I not only met the deadline, but they liked it enough to give me a contract *happy dancing*

Initial expectations are that the story will be released in ebook form in July, with the anthology to follow in both ebook and print versions.

More news when I have it *VBG*
