Like Glass No Longer a VHP Title

The title pretty much says it all; officially, as of today, Like Glass will not be published by Vanilla Heart Publishing.  I will continue to distribute it via the current channels (i.e. Amazon and CreateSpace) at least until the first of the year, though I’m unsure whether I will continue to pursue it after that.

I’m at work right now, so I can’t really discuss the subject too much; suffice to say that it’s better for all parties involved that the novel finds a different home.

I would like to sincerely offer my thanks and gratitude to Kimberlee Williams, the editor at VHP, for the time and effort she and her staff put into what work had already been done on the novel, and for putting up with a rather tedious client.  I’d also like to once again thank Mary Quast, the author who introduced me to VHP in the first place; even though it didn’t work out, it was still a wonderful experience that I wouldn’t have had without your assistance.

Okay, back to the rat race.

Shattered Update

Well, Shattered is coming along nicely so far.  A little ways past the halfway mark, and actually going pretty strong.  I have a new incentive for finishing it quickly too; I’ve been lucky enough to have quite a bit of time off recently (long story), but unfortunately it’s coming to an end.  I’ll be going back to work in about a week and a half, and I’m really wanting to get the rough draft finished before I go back.

There’s another incentive as well, tied into the big news that I’ve been talking about, but we’re not going there just yet…

Unfortunately, I’m thinking I may have to cancel my upcoming signing at The Book Rack; it’s scheduled for this weekend, and I don’t have enough copies of the book to really do much with.  Might cancel, might not.  Need to make a decision soon; if I do cancel, I’ll make sure to have that be my first stop later on, when things are a bit … different.

Okay, I’m having a hard time tap-dancing around stuff I don’t want to talk about just yet, so I’m going to close this off.

Coming Up: Television Interview

Alright everyone, mark your calendars!  Monday, December 22nd at about 12:30 PM I’ll be on KVIA 7 in El Paso to promote LIke Glass!  For those of you who aren’t in the area, I’ll try and get a copy I can post on the web here for you.

Trust me, I’ll probably be blabbing about this more between now and then
