It's been a pretty intense but rewarding process. At this point I am quite pleased with the way things turned out on my end. Dealing with the publisher has had its ups and downs, but overall it has been a remarkable experience. With regards to anything I would change I would only say that I would have a little more backbone dealing with my publisher, but I have heard that for first books it is not uncommon to roll over just to get your work published. Next time I will be a bit more hard nosed.Originally Posted by agalisgv

Your book sounds fascinating, Maximillian. You must be so relieved! I am going to add it to my Amazon wish list.

I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Congratulations!

Boy I'm humbled by all the kind words and well-wishes. I've been on this board for over ten years and while I post infrequently and sometimes too snarkily for some posters tastes, I've always considered it a caring, kind on-line community/family who have always made me feel welcome. So, of course it was natural that I wanted to share my good news with you all. I'm glad I did.

I'm resurrecting this thread to say I got it today from Amazon and read the first chapter. Enjoying it - your family sounds like a hoot.

Congratulations! You have a natural writing style and a great sense of humor and it comes across in your writing.
Thank you so much for sharing your book with us. I'd def. add it to my wishlist.
