My first novel, Mustang Summer: A Novel, will be released by Publish America in early January 2008; and so far, I am immensely pleased with PA. They have done everything they said they would do. Moreover, the people with whom I have dealt--from the editorial staff to the production team--have all seemed genuinely concerned with ensuring my novel's success. I think I have a good novel--maybe not the next Great American Novel--but good nevertheless. However, I got so very tired of trying to find someone willing to give it the chance I believed it deserved. Some agents told me it was well-written, it was creative, it was, in fact, one of the best new novels they had read in quite some time; however, it was "way too long." I tried to shorten it, and I was left with but a hollow shell of the story I needed to tell. Publish America is publishing the entire thing--all 441 pages--and never once has anyone said, "It's too long." Again, I think Publish America is great, and it is vastly underrated by some people.

I "assume" the books have "spiritual" or "religious" themes. Is that correct?

The problem is that your company prints only books that are "spiritual" in nature, and my novels are mainstream fiction. Bummer.
