New book coming out in the beginning of June

Welcome to Moonlight Ridge, a magical, musical place overlooking a small town named Eden. Here you'll meet a pair of intrepid eight-year-old cousins, Lily Claire and Willie T., and their multi-ethnic family in the backwoods of Alabama. This is a story about family and community ties, loyalty and faith, and a very unusual map used by two flamboyant children to solve a mystery "out on the mountain."

Self-publish or subsidy press?

Both options seems to have a bad rep but I think it comes from people who are ill-informed. For a good perspective on this, read here.
I have it on good report, that a new company is coming soon. :>) Coyote Moon Books.
More to come later this month.
And when you think "traditional" publishing, don't automatically assume that means only the larger publishing houses. You stand a better chance of being published if you go with a smaller independent publisher. Like Chalet Publishers.
