After nearly two years of collaboration with Country Messenger Press on my young adult novel 4th and Forever, the process has collapsed.  The publisher and I did not see eye-to-eye during the contract negotiation phase due to my concerns with royalties, marketing and distribution.  So back to square one.

There are a couple of happy notes for 2010 however:

My short story "The Not-So-Merry-Go-Round" has been purchased by Open Heart Publishing and appears in the current anthology An Honest Lie, Volume 2: Delusions of Insignificance.  See my author interview at http://debrincase.com/blog4/category/author-interviews/page/2/ and be the first to purchase the book at http://debrincase.com/ahlvol2/dennis-thompson  (be sure to click on my name in the list to the left of the purchasing portal so I can get votes toward a publishing contract!  Thanks!)

The sequel to "The Not-So-Merry-Go-Round" has been accepted by Pandora's Imagination.  "Attack of the Peripherals" currently appears in the anthology entitled Under A Harvest Moon.  It can be purchased at https://www.createspace.com/3491966

Crimespree Magazine has accepted my story "A Rottweiler for Christmas". 

All magazine and anthology efforts should be out by December, 2010.  I am back to the hunt for a publisher of my novel.  I hope to be putting out an e-book compilation of poems and short stories, a non-fiction coaching manual, and a full-length screenplay this year.

I am actively seeking an agent at the moment.  I'm happy to report that as of late 2010, a number of agents have requested my query for 4th and Forever.

My blog, Terminal Verbosity: A Journey from Acceptance to Publication, is coming soon.
