I'm busy writing a series for a US based outlet. They publish a part every month. After part II, they asked if I'm interested in turning the series into a novel upon completion. They assigned a senior editor to my work and they will handle every aspect of production and marketing. They are carrying all the costs. I just have to continue writing the story and I have zero restrictions. I can take their readers anywhere I want them to go. I thought about their offer for about 1.5 seconds before I said "hell yeah. Where do I sign." I worked as a journalist for years and always wanted to writing a fiction novel. This is my 1st novel and I'm getting excellent feedback on the series. How lucky can one guy get?
Speaking of you ladies names - I have two sister-in-laws. Guess their names! :) Lisa's husband, my brother-in-law, is named Robert. You can't make this up. Too funny.
