Admittedly, it ain't the typical path to publication. But my journey, which included more than 150 rejections form literary agents before a publishing contract actually found me (in the form of Dave Long) will, I hope, give other writers out there a bit of hope and inspiration. Even when you do everything you can, it really is a matter of timing in some instances.
