Wish us luck

Well, just when we thought we had everything all figured out, a NY agent asked to see our manuscript. So, we just sent it off to her. Sending prayers of acceptance along with it.

Overwhelmed but happy

Our novel was accepted by a POD publisher a few days ago. Cause for celebration, definitely. It's great to have validation that our book is worthy.
But in a bold move, we have decided to publish the book under our own imprint. We want total control of the process from start to finish. We will decide the cover, the formatting, the cost - everything. If it sinks or swims, it's on us.
A daunting task but we're up to it.
Chalet Publishers will have Coming Together available for purchase very soon. We are aiming for a June 1 publication date.

Big Announcement

Yesterday, my business partner and I formally formed our new company.
Chalet Publishers, LLC is now officially in business.
We are a new POD [print on demand] publishing company. We are not only going to publish our own books but we have decided to publish a small number of books by other authors as well as anthologies of stories written by other authors.
We are very excited about this new venture. More to come as it develops.

My publisher asked for the full manuscript

After waiting two weeks [which seemed like an eternity to us], my publisher asked to see the entire manuscript. So, off it went. But we know it's going to be a while before we hear the final verdict.
