    Tough break about the floppy, clayton. I can sympathize. I had a floppy with some stuff I wrote (not a book) and part of the disk got corrupted. I got most of the writings off, but there is some I couldn't recover and I've yet to come to terms with losing - I still have the disk.



    Looking for a publisher is a wise decision. Unfortunately, that part of making a book has little to do with your historical smarts. It is a sales pitch. Some can do it well, other can't. I know I couldn't. Just keep writing. The more you write the better you'll get.

    Use e-mail. Some pulishers consider internet forums previously published, causing you all sorts of hasels with copyright and such. So post no more than a page or two and keep the rest to email. Usually they don't care, but better safe than sorry.
