Way late to this - happens when my presence here is lessened by much of the same thing Rob is experiencing.

Love your frankness, Rob; absolutely love the cover for the next antho (hints of insanity there?). Must ponder what is happening though, as I'm in the midst of an anthology. Would you mind PMing/emailing me with any particulars?

Oh!  When is that Ricasso Press website coming?  Even a WordPress blog of some sorts would work . . . . not to add to the work load at all . . .  ;-)

Thanks so much for the update.
 
Since I am a new writer, and you are printing my firstborn in your anthology BDWD, I am sitting at the edge of my chair, breathlessly waiting for the first copies.  But I will force myself to be patient, because all babies need clean didies and need to be powdered and sweet smelling when company arrives.
 
New anthology, hmm.  I have a story of an everyman who hooks up with a magician whose hiding in the woods and they are forced to flee a monster and lead it away from civilization.
 
Wonder if it will fit.  I guess I'll just have to send it when you open submissions.
 
good luck as you go through the rest of the publishing process.

Rob, two things:
1. Having been writing for some years, I have to say that your policy of being completely open with your writers is really a breath of fresh air. I don't think anyone is going to begrudge you a month or two to fine tune your antho. On the contrary - writers want to appear in high quality forums.
2. Hope to have something for the new antho as soon as guidelines are announced! It's great that you've got another project on tap.
Yeah.   What he said.

Rob,

even though I'm not in any of your anthologies, I wanted to say this: The way you have been communicating throughout the start of Ricasso Press has been simply wonderful. Admitting to that delay can't have been easy, but you did it and are honest about it.

You deserve a sounding round of applause! jumpin

I want to second that, Rob. You (and Mr. Ward, as well) have been more than fair with my own personal brand of insanity. While I don't enjoy getting rejections, I've been more than happy with our correspondence and your professionalism.
 
Which means, of course, that I plan to torture you with more of my writing when you announce another anthology. freaked

Thanks for the support all. I just figured you'd want to know in case you were holding your breath.

Rob,
 
Thanks for the update.  It's appreciated.  Not to fret.  You're busy juggling these projects, and all we have to do is wait.

I'm just glad to hear that you're still cranking at it. Hope that it does comes out before the year's end; I've been thinking that Black Dragon, White Dragon would make a nice Christmas gift for a cousin of mine(as well as some nice reading material for myself! :) ).

Relax, dude. Delay is SoP in publishing..... Especially in print. I feel for you, but believe me when you get the books in your hand, it'll all have been worth it.

I'd say take the time you need to get everything as perfect as you can!  Of course I'm chomping at the bit to read everyone's stories, but I can wait a little longer if that means you don't pull all your hair out and end up with ulcers. :)
