That's excellent, Elizabeth!!! And I don't know much
about publishiing, but isn't that the kind of
prospecuts you could send to publishers and see if
they're willing to publish and give you an advance?
I see we don't have a humor catagory, and I can't
remember what books we have in the collection, but
Redneck Before Christmas was just added. Maybe you
good names of publishers and send a pospectus or
whatever to them and receive an advance. When I next
go into the bookstore, which won't be until the 14th,
I'll check some of the books in our humor section of
the type we have in mind and send the addresses to
you.
