I did it!
I decided to go with a small independent press - a POD ---that's an acronym for Print On Demand.
This past Tuesday I signed a contract for iUniverse to publish my book.
Scary and exciting all at the same time. Feelings of what the heck did I just do combined with the unbridled anticipation of finally holding my book in my shaking hands.
I'm going to spend the next couple of months revising and editing and getting the book to be the absolute best it can be and then it's off to the presses! According to my plan, the book should be in print around the middle of October.
Stay tuned for more news as I go through this process.
