We signed a contract with Dorrance today. Well done! www.dorrancepublishing.com/ "Our comprehensive packages cover three critical and necessary areas of the publishing process: production, promotion, and distribution." They will do it all for you. Congratulations! For some reason, that reminded me of the story of my mother's (may she rest in peace) 'bestselling' publishing adventure (and it's a true story). I still have 3 copies of that masterpiece. So here are a photo of the cover and a photo of an interior page. My mother was an artist, and she attained some form of fame during her lifetime, and occasionally an article about her and her art appeared in the local rag. So ... one day she came by the idea to 'make' a children's colouring-in book, within a story of a 'worm in an apple'. When done, she went about finding a way of publishing it (1983 - no Lulu back then). In the process of it, she met a young, suave adonis who swept her off her feet (she had been widowed many years earlier). Promising her fame and fortune, he swayed her (just after having sold the former family home!!) and she truly saw the sense in paying 100,000 SFR (that's one hundred thousand Swiss Franks) for the promise of world-wide fame and fortune from this 'wonderful best-seller'. She ended up with a box of about 50 stapled, probably Xeroxed, things that looked vaguely like a book, but more like a bunch of folded school drawing paper. Sigh ... Attachments:

I hope the rotter got his karma.
