Friday's rep saver special:
I accepted a contract to publish my adult thriller, The Center Point. I submitted it on my own but the agent reviewed the contract and liked what she saw, especially the 62.5% royalty rate on gross.
The publisher is Writers AMuse Me Publishing and they release books in both hardcopy (POD) and ebook. The author list includes several AW folks, including Stew21, regdog, shakey6 and a few others. None of them had a bad thing to say about WAMM. The thread in the Bewares forum takes some unusual turns, but WAMM get the typical small press treatment and comes out okay.
It was not an easy decision because I have been scorched by smallish presses in the past. Those events are long buried in The Pit, but not forgotten. I really don't want to trunk this story, so I'll give these folks a shot.
I know I'll have to do a bunch of social network legwork, but who around here doesn't? It just comes with the territory, circa 2012/2013.
The Center Point is the only non-MG book I've written and I'm glad it's going "out there." This way we can focus on finding a home for three of my stories currently on sub (I must drive the agents bonkers) and my WIP.
Thanks for all your support!
Long.
Strange.
Trip.
The Center Point arrives Fall 2013.
