It's some schlemiel who made old creaky movies.

Tentative before Xmas is what I have. I've got the ISBN # and I hope by the end of October I will have it pretty well finalized, except the editor reviewing the text. Then will come the sticker shock of the price. Since, after seeing the sample, I've decided to scrap the PB edition and just do a HB (the HB is only a few bucks more than the PB). At approximately 200 pages, it will retail for close to $60. I do not expect to sell too many at this price in this economy. But, this is the limitation of self-publishing. I won't earn any $$ for this effort, really, but I'm not doing it for $$.

It's not a done deal, but, I've been invited to do a book signing at a certain venerable bookstore (Larry Edmunds) on Hollywood Blvd. I'll let you know if this does, in fact, happen.

Even though we never finished that project?

Do you still need us to work on that? Would be happy to, it just fell off my radar for a while.

Post the date as soon as you can? I will do my absolute best to be at your signing.

I'd love it if you can. Listen, I know you are busy and it's not like I've paid for any of your hard work, so I totally appreciate what you have done. Anything else is gravy!

I sent that to you a week ago - let me know if you didn't get it.

Thanks CP! Got it!

Also, thanks to everyone here on LoT for being so supportive, virtually and in other cases literally.

It's pretty exciting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
