The long and misleading adventure of The Doors of Time.
First, I want to thank all you interested parties reading this for your patience with me in supplying news about The Doors of Time since I pulled it down.

Another suggestion, check tumblr for any help. It doesn't just have the pretty, but also very helpful blogs, especially in the writing community. ;)
My favorite blog is:

They do have tags about all kinds of stuff including publishing. But there are lots of other good blogs for that kind of stuff too.
Well, I wish you good luck and when the book gets published I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. :)
