What's up with Sable?

June 2nd is our Grand Opening for Cobblestone Press (http://www.cobblestone-press.com) and I am getting more excited with each passing day. I'm very impressed with all the submissions we've been getting in and I've been having a blast creating covers! Here are some I've already done for Grand Opening:







It's keeping me very busy but I am really enjoying to work. The authors are fabulous. I think its because we aren't just limiting ourselves in word count or catergory. Lots of people can write 10K stories and quickly so it looks like our 10K-20K Tryst books are going to be very popular. Also, because we are publishing mainstream (sensual) romance to erotic romance we are attracting a larger group of authors. Lots of authors are enjoying the fact that we ARE being selective about what we will accept and that regardless if we accept or reject, we try, if we can, to offer helpful feedback about the manuscripts.

I'm also quite pleased with the staff at Cobblestone Press. I'm doing cover art myself but we also have three other very talented artists. Our editors are tough editors who are working their butts off to polish up each and every manuscript we contract. And the people at review sites, other epublishers, and others in the electronic publishing industry have been very supportive. Also, I have to say that Erin Fry at RWR has also been extremely nice, patient, and helpful.

It's just amazing at how supportive people are of what Deanna Lee and I are trying to do with this new epublisher.

As far as my own writing goes...I've just completed the editing at Venus Press for Chasing Shadows, the sequel to my paranormal When Darkness Falls. I should begin editing at Titan Press soon for my mainstream fantasy The King's Sword.

I've got a few other manuscripts in the works that I write on inbetween the Cobblestone Press work.

So that's what I've been up to...busy busy busy...just the way I like it!

Cobblestone Press

Deanna Lee and I are starting a new epublisher! Check us out at http://www.cobblestone-press.com

We are an electronic publisher of sensual and erotic romance seeking creative storytelling and original style. Because we at Cobblestone Press are selective about what we accept, we are looking for authors to set the standard of writing for this new press; authors that show extraordinary ability to weave tales of romance through strong, unforgettable characters, plots that twist and turn with layers of conflict and emotion, and a style that sets them apart from other writers in the market.

We will begin accepting submissions from published and unpublished authors on: March 3, 2006

Cobblestone Press, LLC will open on: June 2, 2006

We'll be publishing:

Novella: 20,000-40,000
Novel: 40,001-65,000
Full Novel: 65,001-100,000

Cobblestone Press is a full service publisher. There are NO fees for the author at any point during our publication process. We are NOT a vanity publisher. Your book will be edited, assigned an ISBN number, and cover art will be provided.

I'm totally psyched about this and about working with authors. We are going to do everything we can to promote and market the books and the authors. WHoo hoo...great things for 2006!
