A little change of plans, I submitted my manuscript to Aethon. It'll take a few months to receive a response, hence the delay. If they reject my manuscript, then I'll go ahead and self-publish on Amazon (My original plan). If they accept it, then we'll see what happens next.

  Why did I change my plans and submit to Aethon? Well, it wasn't a spontaneous decision. Editing, designing a cover, formatting, marketing, doing all of the above myself is draining and time consuming. That, combined with the fact that I have a labor intensive day job, means I have no time to work on the second book, no time to spend with my family. So I'm thinking about the future. It would be very nice to have a publisher do this stuff for me.

  So I do apologize, but you all will have to wait a bit more. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
