Thanks for your comment. I’m finishing college this spring, but hope to have TEMPEST done and “up” this summer. If you “like” my Facebook author page, you’ll get updates (or at my website, cynthiawrightauthor.com). I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed my books!

I have so enjoyed your Ravaneau and Beauvisage series. I am looking forward to Tempest – when will this be released?
Thanks so much

You are awesome!

You have shown through example and straight talk how to succeed in this brave new world. And you also reached out to me when I was brand-new and so clueless. Thank you!

Steph, you CAN be published! You don’t have to wait for a New York publisher to put the seal of approval on your work – but you should hire a freelance editor to help you. Good lucki!

Linda, thanks for sharing your experience. It really is an exciting time!

Ciji, we’ve been through it all together, for over 20 years. You are slaying dragons on traditional and indie fronts! Thanks for your unwavering support, dear friend!

In constant email exhcanges, she inspired me to look at a nonfiction work I wrote for Viking Press in 1982, update the stats, and contact Nina Paules at ePubPrep. I had a similar experience helping to design the cover of JOINT CUSTODY AFTER DIVORCE: How to Make Shared Parenting Work, (which will be published in January, 2012)…and what Nina’s designer came up with was totally professional and wonderfully eye-catching as a “thumbnail” to be seen on Amazon and B&N, etc. I had gotten the rights back to my historical fiction over two years starting in 2007 and resold them to a “regular” publisher who did a great job bringing out 5 reissues and a new novel…but going forward, we writers can look at what Cynthia Wright has done and think really long and hard about what is in our best interest for books we have yet to produce. Thank you, Cindy, for being one of the writers have have so bravely forged a new path for your friends and admirers…

Don’t you just love the freedom that self-publishing gives us! It is so nice not having to deal with one of the NY publishers, or even with agents, and not having to fight for royalty payments. I love being able to design my covers with my long-time designer, Judy Bullard, price the books of mine and my late husband’s the way I want, and not have to answer to anyone. Not only does it give authors freedom but I have found it exciting, as I see you do.

Shirl, thanks for taking me under your wing when I was still inside the shell in early summer… You helped steer me in the right direction (especially with Kim). We troglodytes have to stick together!

Thank you for a great blog. As an unpublished author, I have a hard time finding ideas to blog about, too. Congratulations on writing again. I can feel the excitement emanating from your words as you talk about publishing your own work.
Good luck with both your writing and your new career.
Steph

I took a hiatus from writing to clear out my brain from all the nonsense and dictums coming out of New York. The hiatus turned into thoughts of permanent retirement but then along came ebooks and with them, a whole new kind of excitement about writing again. It’s not only given our books a second life, but our careers as well *s*
