Re: Aril/Arilbred Book

To all who wrote, publicly or privately, about my book:  thanks for the
encouraging words.  I'll indeed move it off the back burner and to the top of my

Timber, yes.  They were at the top of the list.  Taunton, I don't remember
specifically because I compiled a rather long list of publishers with interests
in the field.

Thank you.  That sounds something that would really strengthen the pitch.

Thank you, too  -- and thanks for included the addresses of both Timber Press
and Story Publishing/Garden Way.  The fact that neither was interested before
should not preclude approaching them again.
