No, we aren't going anywhere.

First, I suppose I should apologize on behalf of Robin and myself. We've neglected all social media - it's been an extremely busy summer, with some exciting, thrilling, terrifying news to be announced come October. We are in the process of finalizing details, getting our moves in order, and putting together some of the best of ... well ... you'll have to wait and see!

Second, we partnered with Black Firefly, as part of the editorial teams. It's exciting and branches out Cliffhanger Editing, as it should be. The more authors we help to publish, the better it is. Not just money wise, but just flat helping. Isn't that what authors do for each other? We are all authors, self published, indie published, traditionally published. Having each other's backs keeps our books out there, our messages given to our audiences, our stories in front of readers.

So for those of you just starting, wondering how to do it, here is the help you need. And without costing more than doing it all by yourself and hoping. Most of the people here have been in the publishing business for a long time, in the Big Six and small presses. We know how to prep your book for the big, bad world.

Black Firefly have opened their doors to all authors--self-published veterans or brand new--to help with Editing, Cover Art, Formatting, Proofreading, Marketing, Promotion, even Beta Reading. We can do it all, or just pick and choose what services you need.
