| I was thinking of children and kittens today. My child is fifteen tomorrow and I am so proud of all he can do and of who he is, but like any parent, I mourn the little baby he was. I miss the sweet, faltering steps. Kitten are the same. I love cats but always miss the kittens they shed away. It's a bittersweet part of life. We loved JEA Press when it was a baby, even as it frequently toddled into things, fell, got back up, and occasionally wailed. We nurtured and fed it well, and JEA grew. May presses fail so we are thankful that JEA has become a "teen-aged" press. Sadly , we also have to make changes and overcome challenges. Trevor Smith and I established JEA to catch some of the exceptional, wonderful books that other presses didn't have room for, and to give them great covers, edits, and make them available.I would never have done this without Trevor. T recently retired from the military and moved, not knowing his bandwidth plan would be almost zero; it's certainly not enough for him to do projects. After soul searching, it is best that Trevor step down as co-CEO. He will remain as an author, a mentor, and friend. I will assume all CEO duties and responsibilities. I am happy, but I do miss the old ways as well. It's actually a way of growing, even if we must adjust and let go of the "kitten version" we love. With no losses, we gain Trevor's ability to write more; we hate that technology, the reason JEA thrives, is also the reason T had to make a hard choice. Meanwhile, try one of T's books! |
