ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) One of my wife's life goals was to get two books she'd been working on published.This first one Fortitude is a Historical Young Adult novel, set in 1898 Mobile & Dauphin Island, AL and Tampa, FL.Many years on/off research and writing, rewriting and then a frustrating year of rejections from various publishers.She was finally picked up by a new company, Anaiah Press.They liked her first book so well they asked if she had more, her second was taken too.It will be released in April of '16, it is titled Corroded, it is a Contemporary Young Adult novel.The editors have told her that anything she writes they'll find a place for.Book three is currently being researched/written, it will be a Gothic Horror set in 1906 Montrose on Mobile Bay.Fortitude is now available for Kindle pre-order at amazon.com, it will be released Dec 8th.http://www.amazon.com/Fortitude-Carrie-Dalby-ebook/dp/B018HSNK62/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1448687974&sr=1-8&keywords=fortitude Paperbacks soon to follow.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Congratulations! Has she looked into self-publishing? I heard that it was the way to go, last summer. Edited November 28, 2015 by Sim_Player 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks, I'm very proud of her. My wife looked into self publishing but decided to forego it. She has friends who've gone that route, but she wanted to get established with a publishing company. Make it easier to get accepted at other publishers if she needed to. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
