I haven't had any positive news for over two years now so this is good.

I managed to complete my book Riding The High Wind - been writing it and re writing it since 1992 - and I submitted it to five publishers: two local and the rest in the USA and the UK.

I heard from two of those publishers today: the one has already sent me a provisional contract and the other has "expressed keen interest", whatever that means exactly.  Buggedout

So, onward!  Smile

Just a thought, speak to Indy about anything you need to watch out for or be careful about.

I will do that, thanks: my former work mentor advised me to be stubborn - not hard for me to do  Wink - regarding my rights in the book and what she calls IP (intellectual property).  Smile

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
