I recently sent out page proofs to authors on two books, and I'm in the process of getting the formatting done on a third. I realized that I had basically lost closer to six weeks to being sick than to the four I thought I had initially. So I'm trying to make up for lost time.

I have no skeletons in my closet, they are all hanging from the yardarm.

Once there were three brothers, Brandrahoon the vampire, Isranon called the Dawnhand, speaker to spirits, and Waejonan the Accursed, first of sa?necari. Isranon defied his brothers and was destroyed, his descendants forced into the darkness.

Just noticed this listing for an antho with a very similar name, 'Things Aren't What They Seem'. Maybe there's some potential for synergy there in terms of ad space or marketing?

I was asked about the status of my submission (if it was still available) in October, but never received a rejection or a contract. What happened with that?

Also, are you still holding the subs for 'The Goddess' Dark Creatures?'

I did send you a contract. If you failed to get it, then I will send you another.

At this point the most of the anthoogies are in limbo while I make all the staff changes needed to return us to a normal schedule.

There are only two members of my original crew left. the other have either been replaced or are in the process of being replaced in order to get matters moving again on all of them

I failed to get it. Was it sent in the mail or e-mail?

So that means my piece is accepted? Woohoo, yay, and yippee!

Yes, your piece was accepted. I sent it by email. I will post a list of those who have been accepted in case anyone else failed to get theirs.

I got the original email asking if it was still available, but wasn't sure if it was officially accepted or just under consideration. I didn't receive a contract after answering though, maybe it was sent to wrong address or lost in the system?

very easily. Software conflicts caused me to have to reinstall windows four times last year and each time things were lost. I finally discovered it was a device driver and have now had a stable system since early December. But I'm still finding missing software. And it is still telling me that I need the drivers for hardware I don't have installed.

Possibly there is something awry between the way I set up the onboard video and sound vs the add on video and sound cards.

That sounds like you still have stuff hanging around in the registry that never got cleaned up. windows is nasty about doing that. Have you run a registry cleaner?

[cussedness]

I run ccleaner periodically and several different programs form Webroot.
