Reformatting the Elemental Seductions for Submission

Well, right now, reformatting my two Elemental Seduction novellas with the signed contracts to be sent to Rogue Phoenix Press. Thinking about sending my Dark Moon Harvest book to Totally Bound when it's finished. Also, working on my collection for Wicked Bedtime Stories that I plan to publish through Amazon. I was thinking about sending some work to Harlequin Nocturne but it's my understanding that they only pay authors pennies on the dollar. Well, I have a problem with that. After all, the authors are the ones who created these stories that readers want to buy and if it wasn't for their stories, then there would be no publishers. More exciting news, the wonderful staff at the now defunct Silver Publishing, have started a new publisher called Fireborn Publishing. The owner fled the country but the staff rallied as well as the authors and I will be listed as one of the authors there. But since Rogue has been gracious enough to pick up my two novellas (there are two more to be written in that collection), then I will need to submit a different story to them. I'm leaning towards finishing Thief of Hearts for them. So much going on. I think I will hold off going back to school until next Fall. That should give me some much needed writing time to finish all my projects especially since I'm so picky about my work! Other news, my illustrator for the childrens' stories will most likely be ready to work on my other books once she has gotten married. I anticipate more great things happening in the Fall. The children's works will be under another name so keep an eye open.
