Thanks, Randy. I'm not sure how many TNBW members have been reading it but not finished, so I just wanted them to know the book would be taken off site in a little over a month from now.

The story above that one, concerning a class action lawsuit against Harlequin, was also to your point. And it speaks to one reason why self-publishing has grown. Major publishers and agents who don't give newbies much of a chance to get their feet in the door, and publishers, once they've signed you, who screw you over - it's no wonder self-publishing has taken off. And it's not just new authors who have taken this route. Some well-established writers have ditched their publishers in return for total control of their products.

Ditto.

Thanks, Dags! I'm fortunate to have found a publisher who is easy to work with - and likes my books! Great combination!   You and the other writers at TNBW who have critiqued my stories are largely responsible for that. Which is why I'll continue to workshop all of my novels here.

The rain has arrived, but not the wind -yet. Thanks, Dags.

Truth be told, Vern, as someone who has seen "Deliverance" a number of times, I'd just as soon not be looking for them thar hollers.

Put your money where your mouth is, Randy. Become the founder of the OM group, and I'll be the founder of the Tar Heel group. Hell, I don't know if there are any North Carolina writers in TNBW. But I'm pretty sure there aren't any Vermonters among us. (Prove me wrong, peeps!)

Congrats!

Unless you self-publish, only the publisher gets sales numbers from Amazon. Amazon rank is indicative of sales in a general way, but not specific. If your ranking climbs, you know that's because of a sales increase, but a rise of several thousand in rank may only translate to a couple of books sold. I don't think your idea is workable, Sol. And I don't really see the point, as it would create an irrelevant competition among TNBW published authors who write in various genres and use various promotion discounts.
