“Have you dreamed of writing a book? What happens when your dream suddenly becomes a nightmare? Changing publishers midstream is an author’s nightmare—kind of like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute and hoping to grab a friend on the way down. During the publishing of my second book, I lost my parachute (aka my publisher) and was freefalling—that is, until Ballast Books invited me to grab onto their parachute. Ballast Books not only took on my unfinished project, but they also they did it with class and professionalism. I had a tight deadline to meet, and the team at Ballast was unwavering in their commitment. Even though words are my life, I find myself without the words to describe the depth of gratitude and respect I have for the Ballast team. If you have suddenly found yourself without a publishing home or are otherwise considering your publishing options, put Ballast Books at the top of your list. I think you will be as pleased as I am . . . maybe more!”
