Linden Bay sells to Samhain
Dec. 5th, 2008 10:20 amJust heard that Linden Bay Romance are selling to Samhain. I'm completely deflated about this - I was so happy to be a part of Linden Bay, I liked their way of communication, and the way that they were happy to take on gay historical fiction. I liked their editing--stringent--and the fact that they even put novellas into print. I don't think Samhain do that, could be wrong.
What upsets me that the authors weren't told (although, why am I surprised, when are they ever?) - I had to hear from someone else via email, and even the Yahoo group of LBR authors weren't told - still haven't been told.
There's a chat tonight on the All Romance Ebooks site - but it's at 2am GMT - which is completely useless.
I didn't want to publish with Samhain. If I had - I'd have submitted to them. I had plans to do a sequel to Frost Fair, and I wanted to do another novella pretty much straight away, and that's out of the question now. It's horribly depressing - yet another door slams in publishing world.Oh well. Looks like I'll have to stick with novels in future.
