What do you think about this reply??
I got an answer to my e-mail regarding what this publisher has been up to for two years. Here's what it says.. should I send the ms or not? He want it e-mailed, so it won't cost me anything postage-wise.
In answer to your questions...... *chuckle*
1.- 2. Have been through a divorce, 2 moves, several career changes, and a total life change of direction since 2001. Me and a group of friends are right now building a youth conference center and youth ranch (including a crisis pregnancy shelter for teens and single moms) in the mountains near Boise, and I've been focused hard on that (and will be for awhile). This winter when the snow flies and we can't do much outside, I am planning to get lots of work done inside on the computer/internet/publishing/etc. The publishing ties into our long range plans for the project here. If you want my monthly email newsletter telling what all is going on with that project, I would be happy to add your name to the list.
3-7. D3 Press published (and I tried to help market online) the Macpherson Criticality and met with very limited success, due to many factors, one of which was a rocky marriage on my end that constantly had me offbalance. That is over now, and I plan to put things back in operation this winter, and really focus on it. As for the others that I tried to market, again, limited success because of a homelife that sucked, pardon my French.... *unhappy shrug* (I need a stable home life to be able to effectively focus on and follow through with projects - just the way I am). In many ways, I am starting over from scratch this winter, on both Benedyne-Books, and D3 Press (and my life). Everything that you have mentioned as questions are things that we want to do and avenues/venues that we plan to explore, but just haven't been able to do much with until now. Now I can, and am gearing up for that.
Does this help answer your questions?
Sincerely,
-Tim
Hmm. I mean, I'm a nobody myself. Just wondering if I should take a chance and send him my ms? I guess it's not a binding contract or anything. If LBF wants to publish, I would probably go with them.
Opinions?
