I have been at the RT writers/book lovers conference all week with
tonksnymphadora. . . I will not be responsive or functioning until Tuesday. It's been very tiring, but also VERY eye opening and educational. Once I get my brain back after the conference, I will fill you all in

I have been thinking about you SOOO much. . . I have been busy with it since monday because tonksnymphadora and I took a writers class.
But, yes. . . You were basically right about everything. . .
::note to self-never question publishing advice from madam_minnie :: I need to call you, we need to have a long, long talk. . . Really, we need to touch base next week. Did you know 30% of ALL samhain's sells are m/m. . . Thats whoa. . .

We totally need to get together! This weekend's busy and next weekend we move but maybe we can meet up during the week for dinner after work. IM me on iChat via your iPhone and we can coordinate schedules. :D

This...pleases me. The next step is to get non-Af-Am readers to read Af-Am/MC romances and get the industry to stop marketing colored romances solely to colored folk...
And Ebooks are my homeys, but they don't necessarily have to be cheaper (which is what I hear from many consumers). Someone still spent a lot of time writing that book--they should be paid comparable to their efforts. It's still something I struggle with as I write and publish my own stuff. But if the story is good enough, people will shell out $$ to read it.
And, I hope this means you'll finish something and submit it it/publish it. I'm glad you were able to go to RT--it was just too damn expensive for me at this point in my life. Maybe next year.

Your stuff is very worthy of being published! (And you know I'm more than happy to help in whatever way I can.)
I love my books, so I might have a hard time switching entirely to e-books, I'd certainly try it out if it was the only way I could get my eyes on your work though. (I really think books should be published on recycled paper...more people should make a stink about that.)

But...
*pouts*
Why does everyone think everything needs to "fit" somewhere? Isn't this how new genres get started?! Things like that are called "groundbreaking," NO?!
Someone back me up here! Please!

I look forward to reading/purchasing an e-book from YOU some day. Soon.

Le sigh. . .I do hope you can buy one by me someday. . .Though, LOL! Who knows, I'll probably send it to you before hand begging and pleading for you to look it over and tell me if I suck!
(((hugs you)))

I hear you on the house being eaten by books. I seem to be living out that quote from someone about when I have a little money, I buy books. Problem is I spend waaaaay too much on the books. Argh.
