You've tried querying, checked alternatives, and believe your book will have a market if it is published. Author houses don't appeal to you. Your manuscript is ready. What's next? Don't stress!
I took a look at your website, and you are SERIOUSLY networked with a lot of other blogs and sites. How do you find time to stay in touch with so many others?

I don't want music at my funeral. My hope is that it would be drowned out anyway by the noise of the agonized sobbing from my friends and relatives. If that doesn't happen, I'd rather the silence be deafening.

From the number of responses it might be that most of the Writer's Box members are very successfully published and don't feel that they need to share with wannabees. This is a forum for people who think they might want to publish in this very spec...
It would be interesting to see how many WB members have actually published any books.
From the small number of responses, I'd guess not too many.

Review of "Perilaus," a novel by Mark P. Henderson
What is worse than spending your life in prison atoning for your crime of passion? Living with it. Facing it every day. Drinking to obscure the memory and banish the ghosts. If you are a writer there is an alternative, but it means losing your mind in the process.
“Perilaus” by Mark P. Henderson, is a story of transference on a level previously found only in a psychiatrist’s nightmare, an intricate and beautifully woven tapestry of rationalization and longing gone mad as the writer becomes trap… Continue

A BAKER’S DOZEN

MARI SLOAN
Introduction
My heart is racing, adrenalin is surging through my body. Time is getting away from me. Every possible avenue of escape has been examined. I look to the right; look to the left, the crisis point is now. Time to start typing.
The topic is a mind-buster. One hour to write a story from start to finish and send it out. Will the words come this time? Is my idea original? Has this been done before? It’s fifteen minutes and counting. Muse don’t fail me now.… Continue

- Hi Mari - Glad you enjoyed Fenella! I did write a few others for my daughters when they were young, but I don't know whether they're still extant. Both the girls liked Fenella... most disappointing - one would expect one's daughters to empathize with Felicity, wouldn't one? (!) I have a vague recollection of one tale in which Fenella went to fight a troll, but the troll turned out to be a vegetarian with a strong social and environmental conscience...

- Hi Mari - As you've observed, I managed to register here... Maybe I'm improving, though my daughters would no doubt offer an alternative opinion. Thanks for the welcome message!
Mark.
