I did, however, turn over my files on scam agents and publishers to the SFWA when they were starting Writer Beware. All the credit for that entity that grew out of my original research belongs to AC Crispin and Victoria Strauss. :) <BR/><BR/>LOL, Dawn, I was concerned about the name change, too, but readers were very forgiving as I made the transition from epubbing to NY.Devyn Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222603045080710867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-54874084373156121722008-07-14T19:29:00.000-05:002008-07-14T19:29:00.000-05:00How neat...I must admit I love the contemporaries ...How neat...I must admit I love the contemporaries the most of all.

It was always a dream of mine to be NY pubbed, and I knew I'd get there. Just didn't know how, LOL<BR/><BR/>Last Friday I got some good news from my agent that we'd made another sale, my 12th, to Kensington. I'm going to be in an anthology with an "undercover cop" theme. I am so excited to get to try my hand at romantic suspense. My story, The Hard Way, will appear besode those of Myla Jackson and Delta Dupree.Devyn Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222603045080710867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-41482588826721358532008-07-14T13:42:00.000-05:002008-07-14T13:42:00.000-05:00Very inspiring story about your start for a NY pub...Very inspiring story about your start for a NY publisher.
