Thanks!

Sorry, I wasn't blowing your request off - I've just been extremely busy. I mentioned your request to a few contacts (while I'm not involved in that aspect of the publishing biz, I have handled the layout for some who are) - I'm just waiting to see if any of them are interested in even talking to a new author. One I know has stopped new submissions for awhile. I'm also going through a list of independent puplishers that I have to see if any fit the bill (hey, got to keep on top of what the competitors are doing *grin*).

Anyway - why don't you drop me an e-mail so I can send you some contacts when I get them (it may take a day or two) - no obligation and you won't be put on some mailing list (don't have one and don't want one). Of course, if you need someone to design the book...I'd appreciate a shot at it but you are not obligated at all!

One hint - start putting somthing together. Most of the folks I know will want a sample of your writing/preview of the book.

Thanks,

Tam

Tam -

Gee thanks! I didn't think you were blowing the request off - this board seems to move very quickly onto the next subject so I thought maybe you got caught up in Michael's "Migrant Success" quest like the rest of us (lol) ...

...anyway, goodness, thanks very much - I actually only wanted to know who's who - but you've obviously gone beyond that - I wasn't trying to ingratiate myself that way - but thanks regardless!

Will send email - but will put something together first, as you requested. (Course you'll get first design shot :).
