Awww, thanx for the cover shot, Em!!! Really, I just popped in and recognized the image and started grinning. What you will find humorous is that I popped over to the EREC site to do some research on Red Sage as a house to submit to in the future. I don't know about others but I rely heavily on your data and news concerning publishers. And while one of the publishers who I am contracted with is showing smoke, I will always thank you for my first sale due to your advice.

Now while some writers are doing the cheerleader thing for publishers they HOPE will do them well, all I can say is that the truth is in the regularity and timeliness of a check as well as the attention to detail and professionalism of a publisher!

It's all about the research... unless the author just wants a contract and friends...
 

It's a nice cover. Normally I wouldn't like the vertical letters but it works here, like in a manga :)

I will cheerlead for Loose Id from time to time. They do good work.
