I did some more research on PD Publishing. They say they are not a vanity publisher, whatever that means, and that they pay their authors competitive royalties based on the achieved book sales. Manuscript submissions go through an in-depth selective process, and once contracted, the manuscript is professionally edited and typeset to the company’s standards. I guess this means that if I did miss a couple of typos, they won’t automatically reject what they may’ve otherwise accepted.

What’s weird, though, is that in their authors/books section, they only have like half a dozen books and some aren’t scheduled for release till next year. Then again, I guess it’s not much of a surprise when you think of how many writers there are, then how many gay/lezzy writers there are.

Since they didn’t say they weren’t currently accepting manuscripts, I’d say Artemis is probably not going to ask for my manuscript. I think “3 strikes and I’m out” would be a good way to start. Meaning, if PD rejects Sacrifices, I’ll sic this current book on them when it’s ready. If they kick that out, I’ll submit College Romance. If they boot that - it simply wasn’t meant to be as I figured all along. I know I probably shouldn’t be doing this in the first place, but that’s me for you - always doing silly things.

I was comparing our weather with Springfield and found it to be pretty similar – in the 40s, rain mixed with snow. Then I checked Maricopa, and sure enough, almost every day for the next 10 days will be sunny and the highs will range from the mid-60s to the mid-70s. While it’s easy for me to wish it would be like that here so I could wear summer clothes, turn off the heat and open windows to let the fresh air in, I know that everyone would be in their driveways bouncing basketballs if the weather here were like it is down there!
