I'...Melinda, your post definitely is on target. I've found that writing a book is a three phase process, 1) writing the book (the easy part), 2) finding a good publisher (the tricky part; most publishers only print the book and put it into their catalogue) 3) selling the book. Reyna is absolutely correct. At this point a writer becomes a business person and is no longer the artist. I remember following Victor Villasenor once, and, as we walked down San Vicente boulevard talking, he interrupted out conversation to hand out flyers and talk to strangers about his new book. I think the third phase is actually the most difficult, or we are left with boxes of books in the closet, attic, or garage.
