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:
