So I've been e-stalking this thread because you all are hilarious, and I was too scared to barge in. BUUUUT I saw you guys talking about Patricia McKillip and I was all :LilLove: ! She has a new-ish short story collection called Wonders of the Invisible World. My bf got it for me for xmas and it's amazing!

As I suspected...all passes came in. Did she contact me to let me know? No. I had to nudge to find out what was happening. I wonder when the last one came in...my guess is several weeks ago already.

She asked for a call tomorrow. I responded that she could pretty much call me anytime. So far, no response. She did a quick sub, didn't get a sale, and now I feel pretty confident she's done.

:(, Cricket. Have you two ever discussed other books? Any chance she'll sub a second round?

Either way, I'm over here at the bar & will be keeping 'em lined up for you as long as you need :(

If you want to know more about my "publishing adventure" over the last six months, head over to the Bewares forum and check out the Stanley Publishing thread.

Ugh. There was no way for you to have seen that coming. Sucks, man, and I hope you can get your rights back.

Welcome! Pull up a chair.

Well... not that it's gonna make you feel better, but THAT is not the kind of agent you want to have. Ugh. Sorry Cricket. :(

are we roasting this one?
i'll cut up the sweet potatoes.

haha!

totally kidding, WELCOME IDK!

cricket, *hugs* i'm so sorry about
all the passes at once. augh. i'd hate
that. but don't assume this is a dump.
it might be she is just wanting to restrategize
at this point. good luck!! all fingers
crossed for call tomorrow.

(it is not strange to arrange a time
to call. that is how i do it with agent and
i prefer that.)

Oh Cricket - hugs. :(

Hopefully it is re-strategizing, as Xiao suggested?

I've got my fingers crossed for you about tomorrow's call -

I know of Melusine mostly through one of my all-time favorite novels, Possession by AS Byatt. A must read literary mystery romance!

Belatedly, this is one of my top five books ever. Good taste. ;D

Hello, purgs! I just got an extremely nice rejection letter but am dealing with some crazy terrible personal life stuff. Soooo..... sinking into the welcoming arms of internet distractions, eh? Never a better time for a new thread. :p

I found you. Repped as I came. It felt manageable with only 4+ pages.

Anyone else having a hungry day? (I've also been having a homicidal day, but that's another story.) Since reading Phoenix's salted-caramel hack, I can't get it out of my mind. When I read recipes, I often know how they'll taste, and this one's making my mouth water.

Clovia, Amarie, and others: have you seen Ze Fr@nk's parodies of National Geographic's documentaries on animals? They're pretty funny and I suspect you'd enjoy. Here's one on the tarsier.

Haupe, I have since moved on to swedish fish and several other unhealthy things. (Although I AM drinking rosemary tea in an attempt to cure my headache, which has to count for something.)
