I got an agent and have been horribly slow, dragging my feet. He did't really care for the next Steve book, so I'm working on a new series that he thinks will be more saleable. Oh, and you are so right. PPP has grown and grown.<BR/>KitKit Ehrmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743784832380713463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-50493887841305697672009-01-28T13:35:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:35:00.000-08:00Are you doing book #5 for Poisoned Pen?

You would think that by now these books would come more easily. But for me, it seems to be getting harder. I wonder with every book (for the last three) if it will be the last one I've got in me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-22858430268711507702009-01-28T12:33:00.000-08:002009-01-28T12:33:00.000-08:00Wow--they really grew.

I don't think they were publishing very many books at all. They've come a long way in a short time. Good for them. Those big NY houses need some competition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-79723522011015427532009-01-28T12:13:00.000-08:002009-01-28T12:13:00.000-08:00Thanks, Kit.Thanks, Kit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-47660510180049753192009-01-28T10:12:00.000-08:002009-01-28T10:12:00.000-08:00Hi Rhonda, The hardcovers are printed in the tradi...Hi Rhonda, The hardcovers are printed in the traditional manner, typeset, then sent to the printers. The trade paperbacks are printed in bulk, initially, but sometimes they use POD, for instance, if they need some extras fast. ~ KitKit Ehrmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743784832380713463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-62282037138155851652009-01-28T09:26:00.000-08:002009-01-28T09:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing your story, Kit.

Mystery Scene Magazine won't review their releases under "small press" anymore. :-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>KitKit Ehrmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743784832380713463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-67447168520223705372009-01-27T12:52:00.000-08:002009-01-27T12:52:00.000-08:00Interesting, the different roads we took to becomi...Interesting, the different roads we took to becoming published authors. One of my author friends refers to Poisoned Pen Press as the "biggest of the small presses"--I had no idea they were the second largest publisher of mysteries in America. Sounds pretty big to me. But they're not in New York, right? Somewhere in Arizona, if I remember. Or have things changed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
