Thank God the manuscript of Cold Cuts was not obliterated for all time when my USB stick/drive bit the dust. I got an email today from Second Story Press, requesting to see the entire manuscript, based on the five chapters I sent out to them in March.
Yeah, it took a long time, and I was beginning to think perhaps they didn't like it . . . but since Second Story is a small press, apparently the editors read the submissions on their own time. Which is cool, I'd rather have waited a long time for a positive reply than get rejected right off the bat.
So, I'm firing up the printer today and spitting out the 300 or so pages that is Cold Cuts, and heading off to the friendly Canada Post office.
In other news, I started putting Dead of Winter back into the computer yesterday, and although I've only managed to get one chapter written - thanks to endless interruptions from the kiddos - it's good to have an un-gobble-dee-gooked (yes, this isn't proper English, I know) copy to work on again.
But now, on to Chapter Two . . . while printing out Cold Cuts . . . good thing I can have two windows open at once, and the new printer collates the pages for me!!
Cross your fingers for me please, that Cold Cuts, and RCMP Constable Sherry Maddison have finally found themselves a home.
