A.K. Kuykendall (kuykendall) | 5 comments As of December 10, 2014 The Possession, book #1 in the Writer's Block trilogy and the subsequent 3-book deal I had with Decent Hill Publishers, LLC. has been terminated due to the publisher's announcement that they will no longer be operating on a traditional publishing platform and therefore my rights to the project have been reverted back to me. I am currently seeking a new publisher to both reprint this title and to negotiate terms for the remaining two books in the trilogy.

THE SILVER LINING:

My agent Donald Maass of DMLA out of New York is now actively seeking a home for the Writer's Block trilogy with one of the big five trade book publishers (Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, Penguin Random House, and Simon and Schuster) now that I, again, own the rights to the concept. Prior to my signing the 3-book deal with Decent Hill Publishers, I had no agent to speak of. That is until I signed with the Donald Maass Literary Agency on November 25, 2013 concerning books 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the Conspirator's Odyssey series.

Donald Maass has a good reputation. He's been at it a long, long time. Good luck!

Thank you, Conrad! It is quite the validation for the many years of trial and error I've placed into the art of storytelling to have been signed to the author list of none other than Donald Maass, the founder and president of the Donald Maass Literary Agency.
