However long it takes to publish your new works; you are heroically cool to me for writing Almost Perfect and giving young TS/TG people a book that reflects their truth in a realistic way. I admire you greatly for being an Author, Dad and Husband. I am very proud to call you Cousin-In-Law. ~Kelly WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388578325782539013.post-72630850693843648642012-01-02T12:20:40.706-05:002012-01-02T12:20:40.706-05:00Mega-congrats on the rewards!

I'm with you, a fellow (emerging) YA author. I went and made my own YA lit mag called SUCKER. You should check it out. It was my response to this world of publishing. suckerliterarymagazine.wordpress.com/<br /><br />I'm also on my second agent and this time I know it's all gonna work out.

The sweetest revenge will come when this book wins a million awards and the publishing exec who terminated the original contract will crawl home crying. I really liked Almost Perfect and I can't wait for the next book, whichever it is, to make an appearance.ivanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694244417925801824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388578325782539013.post-31770823506226148992011-12-29T14:36:17.050-05:002011-12-29T14:36:17.050-05:00I'm glad you're viewing this setback as an...I'm glad you're viewing this setback as an opportunity. I love your first books (And love the title Everyone Dies at the End) I had the same problem when my publisher went under in 2011 leaving my second book without a home. But after reading this, I'm dusting that puppy off and forging forward with number three. <br /><br />Best of luck to you.B. A.
