Sometimes the Right Decision is Hard to Make

Publishing's risky. You really gotta have guts, listen to your instincts, and develop super-human patience. It doesn't hurt to have a few poker skills.
Know when to hold them, know when to fold.

I've done what a majority of writers would call insane. I've turned down 2 publishers who wanted Luminous Nights. After much research, hanging around author loops, weighing suggestions made, I decided to pass. They weren't right for the story.

I know, I know ...

It's unwise for an author to be attached to a story. They are, after all, products, not our children. And I'm not so attached to other stories I've written, but LN is special to me for a few reasons. I'm willing to change it for the right publisher, however they wish. I want LN to be the very best it can be.
But it's gotta be the right publisher.

When it comes to LN, I'm going to hold this hand until I like the publishing house.
Luminous Nights is worth it.
