After several tries I finally got action with Mom's publishers this week.
I e-mailed a request to cancel her contract for Trapped on a Cloud and asked for a copy of the high resolution book file. They said it takes up to thirty days to process the cancellation and another twenty-one to send the file. I'm okay with waiting - at least it's all in process now.
I also finally got a response from the publisher of Legend of the Aneeka. She said her book has been out of print since 2009 and they don't have a copy of her material any longer since it was so long ago. I asked about the book I saw advertised on Amazon and she said it must be coming from an unauthorized third party. Sometimes they advertise books they don't have then try to obtain a copy if they get an order.
I've weeded through the Word files I have for Legend (and there were many!) and found what I think is at least close to the final product. I'm reading through it to get it ready to print. I'll then need to get a cover made. I want to be ready so once the cover is done I'm ready to publish it. That means I have a lot of research to do and I need to get her website ready. I'm going to see Susan next weekend so I want to have a lot of this ready to talk to her about it.
Then I'll be ready to publish Trapped on a Cloud when I get the files in a couple of months. This is quickly getting real - and overwhelming! And exciting!
