AnemicOak -- After Smashwords was mentioned in this thread I took a a look at what I had there (I hadn't checked it in over a year, and I had a very early version on SW), and removed it until I can get the latest version up there. They archived the original version, but I didn't want the old book up there for sale. I also had it at the original price, and I need to consider changing it.

monesque -- right about marketing, but Amazon and Kindle also have much greater brand recognition vs. Smashwords.

I've contacted a few publishers/agents, and I'm still getting rejections (but they are much "nicer" than the rejections I used to get, so I must be making some progress).

;-)

Thanks for all the support and advice here -- this forum is great.
