Virtual Book Tour Completed  
Well that was fast, furious, and fun! I had a great time answering the questions, visiting with people, and generally hanging around blogs to see if folks were commenting, reading,etc. It was an interesting experience...I won't know if it is entirely successful yet, but I am certainly glad I gave it a try.

I am contacting a family member who is a publicist just to see what she thinks I ought to do for my next step in getting Across Time out there. I've had good feedback from people who've read it, but it's time to get it moving!

I am currently working on revision the third in the Across Time series. My editor, Katherine Forrest is working on Second Time Around and will send it back to me with her comments.

Well, I better get back to writing.

Oh...a MUST read...The Book Thief. Don't let the blurb fool you. The story is WONDERFULLY written and completely engaging.

w00t! I hope it's successful for you...I've heard that non-traditional marketing is really picking up these days.

I did have a question for you, about your publisher; do they accept submissions directly from writers, or would I need an agent?

I ask because I have a GLBT fiction book half-completed that I want to get back to. It's not Romance or Erotica although there is a love-story element to it, and I doubt I'd be able to pitch it to a straight market. (Lesbian pirates though, how awesome is that?)

Agents
hey kiddo-
Bella and Spinsters are always looking for good novels...and you don't need an agent. What you need to do is make sure you follow the submission guidelines...it needs to be completed, though, before they'll look at it. It doesn't need to have either Romance or Erotica, but be a damn good story...
Female Pirates?
Love it!
There's nothing like it out there since we're currently in a vampire stage.
have you done research on female pirates like Grace O'Malley?

Finish it up and then let's talk.

Re: Agents
I'm actually working on completing it now (figured out the final plot issues, etc.)

Oh man, research is the best part! Working at a bookstore is a good advantage to have there, as well as a coworker with her own library and a deep interest in maritime history, who doesn't mind extended lends of her books.
