Agent Queries

I think this has been driving me nuts enough that now I’m ready to just SEND a query to get the first one over with. I know two agents I’m really interested in working with. My genre and style fits well with other clients they have.

One of those agents only wants queries and information via paper and snail mail. And they aren’t accepting unplublished author queries until April. So I can’t actually send anything until the end of the month anyway.

The other agent takes email queries only. Response time is listed as two-three weeks. My guess is with the WIP at 50% complete, IF I hear from them to request a partial or full, it won’t be for a few weeks. The partial isn’t a big deal, I can crank that out. The full is SUPPOSED to be done by 3/31 in at least rough form.

So I’m thinking I’ll just send the danged query letter now and get back to work on the book. I drafted it up and sent it to my crit partner (hi Jaynie) to let her give me the suck/no suck judgement.

Argh - I think I spent the whole morning either trying to stay awake or second guessing myself….

Well, time for coffee and back to polishing the written parts of RWH so I can get back into it and back to writing. I want to get that sex scene finished.

eXtasy Books

So - eXtasy Book’s page has disappeared temporarily as they work through the woes caused by their non-paying book distributor EBook Ad. They are getting their replacement site up and should be back online shortly.

Their plan for a smooth transition became toast when their distributor decided to just delete their site during the 30 days notice they gave to cease their business agreement.

But Morgan Hawke (personal idol) says it better than I do. Of course she often does. So please check out her blog to get a whole timeline of what has gone on.
