Gail, this is the first time I posted on your blog, but I’ve been reading you for awhile. *g* I agree wholeheartedly with Lynn. I read your first Rose book and had such sudden HOPE that my own book would find a place someday. I really loved it! To see you go through this, when so many people LOVED your series–both breaks my heart (as a reader–I want to know what happens!) and scares me to death (as a writer). The Compass Rose is on my keeper shelf and always will be.

As someone who writes but has never been published, this kind of thing gives me the "heebie-jeebies". After reading the two ROSE books and eagerly anticipating the third, I am very frustrated that they would pull out on you like that -- and it makes me think, well, what chance does a first-time author have if they treat an established one that way? Jeez.

Yeah, yeah. It's always the bottom dollar, which is a shame.

But I will continue writing and hoping anyway...

*hugs* Meh. I feel your pain. I knew the Bombshell cancellation was coming, and it was even a *relief*, but I still spent the next month totally not wanting to work at all. :/ *hugs more* I swear to you, it’s a matter of HQN marketing not understanding the market, not anything you did wrong.
