I was notified a few months ago that Xlibris, the online company that published Tomorrow’s Past, would be clearing the title from their catalog due to lack of sales.  I’m not surprised that they have trouble selling their books, due to the high cost they put on them.  Lulu.com does it much cheaper and much better, IMO.  I published this novel many years ago and never really thought of it again.  Back then I thought it was the best it could be, but now that my writing has matured even more, I’m at a cross roads where it is concerned.  I’m thinking that this might be an opportunity to go through it again with a fine toothed comb and make it even better.  Then I could publish it under Lee Books with the rest of my books and offer it through Lulu.com for a lower cost…or should I just dedicate my time and energy to creating new, even better books?  If I put Tomorrow’s Past on the back shelf, it will eventually fall through the cracks. I guess I could just offer it exclusively on my forum, like I do with the rest of my unpublished works.  Don’t really want to do that with a once published book though.  Maybe I should dust it off and make it the best it can be.
