About Me and My Book:

I majored in art before getting a BA degree in Zoology in 1974. FOR THOU ART WITH ME is my second novel attempt and first published novel. It's a World War II flashback story, based on war stories heard over the years in the 1950's and from later research. There's more information on my website.

I'm heading to Atlanta, expecting muggy and humid. What a summer so far. And here in the Valley, I can't even swim because my pool hasn't warmed up. Coolest June ever!

At 9:36pm on June 22, 2009, Sunny Frazier said…: Oh, sorry. No, I meant she is working on contest entries. I thought you had sent the manuscript as a cold read. Good luck in the contest!

At 1:07pm on June 22, 2009, Sunny Frazier said…: Tim, I roomed with Billie at the Vegas Police Writer's conference. My understanding is she is temporarily not looking at manuscripts while she looks at entries for the three contests Oak Tree Press puts on. Three winners will be considered for publication. I was not aware of this information when we last communicated.

Thank you, Tim. I like your site as well and I'm looking forward to reading your work.

All my best

I just talked to Billie at Oak Tree. She's swamped right now and behind on the manuscripts. She has several books coming out, so it might be a wait. She's also got some help and has to train the woman.

I've offered to vet the manuscripts and ask the tough marketing questions. You might want to get together a marketing plan and address specifics like who are your media contacts, what is your range of promotion, transportation to events, money for conferences and conventions, health (that's a big one!), visibility on the Internet and in the community, name recognition. The first year is the hardest to get established, but you've already got a book out.

These are things you can work on now while you wait. You're going to need a plan no matter where you pitch your book.

At 2:14pm on May 7, 2009, Ted Hilliard said…: I think you will enjoy this site - lots of publishing resources here. Periodically I sit down and add some to my writing projects, but I am waiting for that magical time when I actually have adequate time to work every day on them. I am hoping to have my political consulting book done by the end of this year, and my cancer book next year.
