Yes, getting published is my main concern actually. I am still considering going the route of iUniverse; at least that would get the book listed in amazon and bn.com, and that way I wouldn't have to deal with a committee of editors wanting to change the book in various ways. OTOH that way I wouldn't have the benefit of having a "publishing house" behind me.

Well, first I should write the darn thing, and then spend time worrying about these sorts of issues... although it is good for me to keep in mind as I write it where I expect it could wind up being published, or at least where I hope it will be published (Quest, or perhaps Weiser).
