Hi Pamela, isn't the journey of publishing exciting? Everything about it is one big discovery.

I'm so glad you survived the agent black hole. Sounds like you learned some wonderful valuable lessons.

Having your book come out in June is great, as it can be marketed toward the summer readers. People with vacations and those who wait until summer to catch up on their reading would love a new mystery!

Does your publisher have a marketing plan or (as most small publishers) is that left up to you? If so, do you have a marketing plan?
