Re:
Cool! You write tomes. I don't know how you do it but it impresses me.

Sounds good, Betsy. A revised version of the book is about to come out. Since I don;t take much of a royalty with the work and there was a deadline before CreateSpace's ProPlan kicked in at $39.00 (and my editor was on vacation), I passed the book through without her keen eye. She has now edited it, and I will be hoisting a new version up there. Plus, I have a new and improved way of dealing with the Lulu software program to produce the galley. So those sections will change. A week or two should do it. Right now I am in the throes of a 500 plus work to be published mid-March.

Re:
Hee, hee, hee - The reason I am not submitting this particular work as an Indie work is because it is heavy with illustrations and photography. I looked into it a bit at Lulu and the cost was astronomical and nobody would possibly purchase it. So, see, Mr. Medicine Flower? I did check this out. And, I downloaded your book (on submitting to publishers - not) and have been reading it. You have offered some good ideas. I'll let you know when I'm done and offer you my comments that you can use in a review. How's that?

Betsy, why not publish these as an Indie. Traditional publishing has become an obsticle to authors. Through off that girdle girl. Burn that bra.

Re: Hi Betsy
Small world. I spent my life from 2-7 years in Chili - Wills Road. I went to Chestnut Ridge Elementary School (1st and 2nd grades). That would have been about 1959, 1960-1963, 1964 that I lived in Chili. How about you?

Re:
Thank you! The proposal hit the mail about an hour ago. I have always used Writers Market but I couldn't find it in the bookstore, tried to do it online numerous times and their site keeps experiencing problems. I finally orderd the books online and have been waiting for them. I have not tried Literary Marketplace, but perhaps I should. Thanks for the info.

Just keep trying. Literary marketplace could probably give you more categories to query under! Best of luck!
