There have been several reprint deals that came up over the
years, but they all fell through for one reason or another.
Right now there's nothing pending.

I haven't investigated IUniverse at all, but I've been
thinking about POD and am leaning toward that option. I just
need to get around to doing something about it. I have one
POD book out now, a fantasy novel I wrote long ago with a
friend of mine, and the finished product looks really nice.
My friend did all the work of setting up the deal, so I'm not
sure but I don't think he had to pay any fees. If anyone has
had any experiences with POD, good or bad, I'd be glad to
hear about them. Probably off-list would be better (unless
they're hardboiled PODs).
Best, James
