Thank you Diver, Momof2, Morgan and PK!!!

PK - I queried it as a stand alone mystery with series potential. I've told Molly that I have sequels in mind (I've almost completely plotted out a book 2). I'm sending her a rough series outline for her to consider. I'll wait and see what she thinks. Thanks so much!

Woohoo! Congrats Sheila! I knew that when I read the first part of Minion School in SYW that I was reading something special - glad to see it's getting recognised, and you too!

I only hope the revised Enigma Files will have similar luck - heck, even knowing that one of my betas who loved the first draft now has an AGENT is inspiring me to get in gear!

PS: Doubt anyone else will get this, but thank you SO much for pointing out the need for police: not only does it make the incident far more believable, but it was VERY fun to write (imagine having to write-down Karl's statement, lol), and also helps set up later books (the detective will not only cross paths during future investigations, he might even *gasp* turn to Karl for help later!) So thanks again!

Dave

Thanks Mike and Dave!

Dave - it was a pleasure to read, really. I'm so glad my critique was helpful. It sounds like you thought up a great fix, too. Yay!!

That is great news, Sheila, big congratulations. I remember reading the original minion story and loving it. So now I can't wait to read the full book. You deserve all the success in the world, very well done.
