How loooow can you goooo? Or, in this case, how long can you go?
So, I heard back from the Baen Books Slushmaster. He’s finishing up a very good manuscript (not mine) and he’s farmed out the other three manuscripts ahead of mine, so mine is the next in the hopper after he returns from DragonCon in Atlanta next Tuesday. Then he’ll reread ASID and get back with either a final rejection or a push to the bosses upstairs. As he is a copious note-taker, he expects it’ll take him a few weeks to finish the book.
So, as I figure it, I’m looking at either good news about a traditional publisher in late September / early October, or I’m looking at an Octoberish launch of ASID under the Stealth Books imprint with my buddy Jeff. Either way, I consider thus to be all-around good news.
Just gotta stay in limbo a bit longer.

Excellent news! One way or another, onwards!
Well done

Thanks, Chris. On pins and needles for the next month, though.
That is aggravating for us as well! Your book has far more right to be published than most of the sub-standard SF out there, IMHO. I should know, I’ve read enough of it.
You at least have the physics training and the Navy background to make everything realistic.
