Thanks to all!

I hadn't expected such an outpouring of sympathy. Thanks. I'd just posted that as a whinge and rant, partly to deal with it. I appreciate all of the positive and supportive messages. :)

And yes, hearing that someone bought one of my books is always good news, as are all the other types of ego-boo, like new reviews posted to Amazon and other public locales, etc. However, everyone keep fingers crossed on BIGGER good news, i.e., that the sample chapters and outline will be accepted by Jim Baen and I'll have a new solo novel on the way.

I'd tell you...

... but I don't know, yet. That is, I've only done one outline so far, and as it hasn't been approved and turned into a book, I can't say for sure what the ratio is.

The entire outlines for the Jason Wood stories could all have been written on the palm of my hand. And not in very small print, either.

Ah, oh well. You should sell many more books, so you'll know the answers to random questions like that (-:

Let us hope. Let us hope. It is all in the hands of the Great Editor now.
