The collection was accepted and I turned out to be mostly right about the design sense. On the one hand, I got a lovely cover and the ebook looked pretty good ...

- Not written from my own experience, alas. I just ran across a blog post by Vampire romance author Lynn Viehl http://www.genreality.net/the-reality-of-a-times-bestseller Her novel "Twilight Falls" (sixth in a series) just hit #19 on the NYT bestseller list.
