Just got another email. This one back from the folks in New York.

"Just wanted to let you know that your manuscript arrived safe and sound. We are looking forward to reading it this week."

Guess we'll see, but I feel very grateful (particularly to Doug from PocketPCPress for his letter of reference) that this work got immediately moved up to the top of their read list. I cannot imagine that happening if I had sent it in to them, or anyone else, as a submission from the street.

We'll see. Either way I am determined to keep pushing the book.

FRegards.

I don't want to pour cold water on your excitement. But boy, you are hurting yourself with the book. I couldn't bring myself to finish even the first paragraph, because of three MAJOR mistakes.
1. The name of current Chinese president is Jiang Zemin, not Jien Zenim.
2. Jiang Zemin will not be president in 2004. He is stepping down and being replaced by someone else next spring.
3. Jiang Zemin was not the mayor of the capital, Beijing, but Shanghai.
Hope you have a good editor at PocketPCPress.

Re: Your work of fiction. It seems like events are fast catching up especially when one considers the fact that the PRC ppropaganda organs are celebrating Spet 11 and using it as proof the USA is a paper tiger.

Stay well - Stay safe - stay armed - Yorktown

Way to Go Jeff!


Congratulations. It's always a very good sign when they acknowledge receipt of a manuscript. It's an exceptionally excellent sign when they actually tell you that they moved it up to the top of the heap.

Now . . . about sending a check for my autographed copy. . . . . :-)

Thanks for the (wonderful news!) heads-up, Jeff!

Been off-forum for a while, and am 'catching up' this morning.

Will be in touch later today.
