Well, I finished Of Shamans and Warriors. Dreamspinner Press has the full manuscript, so if anyone would like to cross fingers, pray, toss salt or dance naked under a full moon, I would appreciate it. I really appreciate those who did beta reading for me, and I definitely think they helped me make this one of my strongest stories yet.  If Dreamspinner passes on the book, I will put it up at Lulu and then do the same chapter by chapter posting in my LiveJournal and let those who want to zip through to the end by buying the book through Lulu (just like with my kinky story, Out of Balance).

I haven't read it, but I'd be surprised if they don't take it. They asked you for all of it? That's a really good sign. It does take them at least 3 weeks now with whole books (but maybe this will be faster, hope so) but maybe longer with the holiday.

I'm crossing everything I have. I'd love to see this as a book from them.

Yep, they already read the first 25% and they've asked to see the completed story. I really do have fingers crossed, but I'm patient, so I'm not going to worry too much for at least a month.

I've not been around much so forgive me if I've missed stuff. Are you hoping to e-publish? Must say, I've long thought your work is worth publishing for the sheer quality of writing.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Dreamspinner does traditional publishing. So, if they take the novel, it will be out in paperback. And thank you for the kind compliment

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

I'd buy it, hon. You really are an exceptional writer, and that's not an empty compliment. :)

I am holding all kinds of good thoughts and saying prayers and everything, hon!!!!

*fingers crossed*

Thank you so much.

You are incredibly gifted and they have to be able to see what a fantastic story you've written!

Good luck!

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[chaoskir.livejournal.com]

Yeah that are good news! And of course you have my crossing fingers!!

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Hopefully I'll know in a month

Seriously, though-- keep that pessimism of yours in check. You really are an exceptional writer.

I'm going to pass on the naked moon dance, thanks (though at least I'm in LA, so there's no blizzard to contend with). But I will cross all my fingers, toes, eyes, and whatever else I can on your behalf. And will look forward to seeing your book, one way or another!

Congratulations! :-)

Hiya,

I'll keep everything crossed for you, I hope it happens!

So, you've got some free time on your hands? Any chance we can steer you towards a new chapter in the Toysverse or a new Kin of the Soul chapter? I *love love love* both of those stories and have reread them many times.

*crosses fingers and hopes*

:-)

I'll definitely be praying for you.

[nerowill.livejournal.com]

Good luck! (I'd consider the naked dancing thing, but it's awfully cold out there... ;)

congratulations! I crossed my fingers for you :)

How exciting, but waiting is never fun.
