Thank you, one and all, for your generous pre-orders of "Cradle of the Stars".  I ended up with interest from 9 different publishers and am in talks with several of them.  We should have a publishing deal in place in the next few weeks.  I left my Publishizer campaign open until today to take care of any lingering orders that came in as a result of the Forum News story (thank you Jay!), the radio pieces and the Facebook page, and an additional 25 orders were added to the tally, bringing the final number to an excellent 348 units.  Once I hear back from my top three contenders, I will determine if I will do the book layout or the publisher will, and that will govern the release date.  I will keep you posted once a publisher is settled on and a tentative release date set.  Thank you, again, for your support in getting this effort off the ground.
