When the publishing dream falls apart
Author, Jenny Milchman, was on top of the world when she signed her contract with Ballantine. She been writing for years, had eight unpublished manuscripts under her belt and wondered if her dream would ever become a reality. It did! Within a span of three years, Ballantine, an imprint of Random House, published three of her novels,
Cover of Snow, and then As Night Falls, and finally Ruin Falls. 
Her story was a writer's dream, three books in three years in print from a top 5 publisher and another on the way. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Ballantine did not renew her contract and declined to publish her fourth novel.
Jenny wrote about in the entire ordeal in an excellent post from the Thrill Begins blog, a cautionary tale for anyone who aspires to a life in print. Read it here:
