News. And not the good kind.

Okay, seriously, anybody else really, really want spring to come? Or more specifically, for this winter to be bloody over

Gosh, sorry to hear that you felt such a step was necessary this close to publication - it can't have been an easy decision at al. And the weird thing is, only today I was thinking that it was almost April, and therefore almost time to order your book! I shall just have to wait a little while longer :o)

Hang tight! We all are.

I know. So close. Not easy. But glad that everyone's so supportive. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine how hard that decision must have been after getting so close! But, I know that book will get published and its good that you do it on your terms. *hugs*

Thanks for sharing the link to Bradley's blog - it explains everything very rationally. I'm certainly disappointed not to be reading the book in April, but I'm sure (as you are) that you did the right thing. And I know you'll keep is posted on when and where it lands!

Good luck for a smooth ride!

Thanks. I felt that I couldn't have said it better than Bradley did. The decision felt like the right one for me. NSB produces great books, they really do, and I think our world needs more small presses who are producing/vetting/curating/nurturing good stuff. I wish them well. It just wasn't the right place or right time for Deadroads to be with them.

Sorry to hear this, but, like you said, it's not the end of the world. There are other fish in the sea and you will prevail!!!

Thanks -- I will certainly try. Or, my agent will. She's the one who's having to work so hard again. But we were in agreement on the decision to leave.

Oh for pete's sake. That's ludicrous!

[robin_riopelle]

I know! Crazy! It was like some weird dream. I always said this publishing was like fairy dust. Days were easier when I just pressed "post" and there it was, ready for the masses to read. SIGH.

In a pinch, I suppose there's always Lulu; copperbadge seems to be doing well with it. It sounds like you've got a good agent though so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
