To recap where we stand with the quest for publication:
The first agent on the list of six has been mailed, and (per their request) given an exclusive window until November 21st. Haven’t heard back yet; I’m cheerfully pessimistic. Assuming no movement with agency number one, five more mailings go out on the 21st.
In the interim, I’m editing the manuscript for the first novel (guilty pleasure) and drafting the second in the series. Also: updating this web site.
I’m staying busy.
