What a kick in the arse!
Wait for over a year to find out when your novel is going to be released - and learn the publisher is folding!!!
Virtual Tales, according to their group messages - is out of business!
So now, where to?

I'm so sorry to hear that! A few ladies in my RWA chapter went through this, and it sounded terrible. Basically, the authors whose books were already released were SOL, and everyone else obtained attorneys to regain the rights to their books.

It seems this is another huge plus for self-publishing. At least you don't have to fight for your own rights there and you don't have to wait years for the big nothing.
