		<description><![CDATA[Finishing up History Odyssey MT2 guide. The course is written, maps are done, and worksheets finished. Feedback is steadily coming in from reviewing families. What is taking me so long is a huge learning curve with &#8220;style sheets&#8221; in Adobe InDesign. In a moment of insanity, I decided it would be a great idea to &#8220;pretty-up&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally received an email back from someone at Kingfisher. It&#8217;s from an editorial assistant. I don&#8217;t beleive she is a decision-maker, but it was great to hear from someone. And she does seem to actually care:
Dear Kathleen,
    Thank you very much for your email regarding the status of Kingfisher History Encyclopedia. Unfortunately, I am [...]]]></description>

But I won&#8217;t be publishing a print edition (only the eBook) until I am sure Kingfisher History Encyclopedia is back. And there is good news on that front—the Kingfisher line has been bought by MacMillan. [...]]]></description>

One of my vendors called me many weeks ago and told me she could not get any more copies. Well, I thought, that happens sometimes. Quite often when a publisher is going to [...]]]></description>

Pandia Press Update &#8211; Chemistry (1) is finished! Well, almost, it&#8217;s finished as far as the writer and myself are concerned. It is in the hands of the editor. And then the printer. It is scheduled to be ready in March (the eBook [...]]]></description>

In fact it is my biggest pet peeve&#8211;running late and waiting on others who are late. When I was in college, I would rather have skipped a class than show up late.

As you know, I have been on a quest to get more science books written. Well in my zeal, I secured not one, but two science writers! I can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

These would be offered along side print copies with customers having a choice&#8211;hard copy or e-book. Electronic downloads offer several advantages for customers and for publishers.
For customers:
