Well, it’s been a long time since my last blog post. I apologize for that. I hope to keep to a better schedule in the future.
I seem to have gotten ahead of myself with my last post. So, I will backtrack a little bit to shortly after the beginning. Within days after the initial phone call telling me that PublishAmerica wanted to publish my novel, I received a sample copy of their author’s contract to review. Like all contracts, it was lengthy and hard to understand in places. After several readings, I notified them of my acceptance. Within a few days, I received a copy of the contract completely filled in.
I had to respond to the completed contract with an electronic signature. This was a new experience for me. PublishAmerica made it simple. By following their directions, I was able to quickly return the signature form.
Two days later I received an email explaining where my manuscript was in the production process. Also included was an author’s questionnaire for me to fill out. While working on the questionnaire, I contacted the pre-production department with a technical question. I was pleased when they answered my email within one day. I then completed and returned the questionnaire shortly before Christmas 2009.
Again I apologize for the length of time since my last post. It has been a busy time for me. The official release date for my novel The Final Crusade was May 1, 2010. A signed copy can be purchased at the web site http://www.thefinalcrusadebook.com
