September 10th Update on Publishing Dispute
September 10th Update
I'm pleased to announce that Damnation Books/Eternal Press and I have reached a settlement on our contract dispute, which returns the rights to both Hereafter and Thereafter to me. The matter is now closed. Thank you all for your support - I cannot tell you how much it has meant.
So, what does this mean for Hereafter and Thereafter? Well, unfortunately, this means Hereafter will be going out of print (in both paperback and e-book format) for a little bit while I look for a new publisher. I have not yet ruled out self-publishing, either. My goal is to get both books back to market as quickly as possible while also ensuring the highest possible quality standards, and I'm evaluating all of my options. My hope is to have the series back out by December, but in the publishing world that is the same as saying, "tomorrow," which is basically crazy talk. Rest assured, however, that stuff is happening quietly behind the scenes (::cough, already commissioned some new cover art, cough::) and Irene's story is far from over!
Meanwhile, I'm writing again--the unplanned summer holiday is now over and it's nose to the grindstone time. I've joined a new critique group and they seem like a crazily talented bunch of ball busters very lovely people; I've been without the accountability of a crit group for far too long, so it's wonderful to be part of one once more. I'm working on the third book of the Afterlife Series, I'm working on a stand alone SciFi Fantasy, and I'm working on some short stories. It's fall in New England and the creative juices are flowing!
