Damn. So the manuscript is all but through editing, when I decide my sample scenario just doesn't cut it. It's just not thuggy or thievey enough. Back to the keyboard...
So, a question for you other indie publishers 'round here: Does it always take forever to publish? Are there always unforeseen delays?
Ethan,
My goodness, yes (http://www.anvilwerks.com/index.php/TheShadowOfYesterday/TheShadowOfYesterday).
Delays are very common, but once in a while they get things right the first time through (well, that was my one experience). So, assume the worst, but don't get surprised by an early result as well. That is to say that they're so inconsistent you can't even count on the delays. ;-)
