Thanks, everyone, for helping me get this far! A victory for us HWers!

Here is the official announcement:

http://www.epictales.org/blog/robertblo ... -publisher

Also, our family *just* found out about Jay's predicament 2 days ago. We were out of the loop for awhile, and when Ness found the old posts, it took my breath away. Our prayers are with Jay and his family.

-Robert

This is so AWESOME. Hearty congratulations, Mr. Treskillard! Are you the first Holy Worlder to get published by an established publishing house, instead of self-publishing?
This is awesome.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Thank you, all of you, for the encouragement! And yes, because the publisher is Zondervan, there will be a chance of it appearing on your library shelves. That may have more to do with how the library reviewers rate it, though, so we'll see. :rofl:

Well, I've put out 3 more blog posts, covering the publisher announcement, the publishing schedule, and my promotional plans. You can check them all out at the following links:

HUGE NEWS #1: Merlin's Blade is under contract with a publisher!
HUGE NEWS #2: Merlin's Blade Publisher Revealed!
HUGE NEWS #3: The Merlin's Blade Publishing Schedule!
HUGE NEWS #4: The Merlin's Blade Promotion Plan!

At sometime in the future I plan on putting together a post that covers the little things I've learned along the way. :shock:
