You've got the gift of the poison pen. You got the 120 mph fastball,
but it's wild. If you had an editor who gave a damn you'd be unstoppable,
I read the intro and the first chapter last night.
which i've been bbbblocked on for two years now.
The fact that he's an ex-editor makes him a extra valuable ally.
If you ever want me to get him interested in your case just say the word.

They're not doing shit with it. I wrote it at their request when I was 25 and it took them two years to put it out and they didn't print enough copies and then they asked me for another book and we signed the contract and then they ignored my e-mails and call for six months until admitting they didn't feel it was commercial. Later I wrote another book for them, getting $2,000 advance this time, and this is it. They haven't put it out, and I'm pretty sure they're bankrupt. It's actually Sterling and Ross; Cambridge House is their bullshit "writer pays part of the costs" thing under which they published my book in order to attract other authors, without consulting me on that decision. Run by Drew Nederpelt. At any rate, this book is mine now, looking for someone to rep it but been busy.
