Some of you may remember the Phenomenon Books debacle from last August. Since then, I've been revising and querying and getting rejected; lather, rinse, repeat.

Here's the new story:

Thursday, March 19th: Queried.
Friday, March 20th: Agent called(!) to request the full. :eek:
Wednesday, March 25th: Offer of representation. :e2thud:

Officially, as of tonight, I am represented by Kent D. Wolf of Global Literary Management. :snoopy:

I was thinking, “I’ll never be good enough to rate a real agent.” There were days when only my Purgatory peeps kept me going. :e2grouphu for the Purgies! You’re the best!

And a :Hail: to Victoria. She is the goddess of my career. She gave me smart advice last year (which I ignored) and invaluable advice more than once this year (and I now know enough to listen and obey). Victoria rocks!

I am living proof of my sig line, AWers: Never give up! Never surrender! :e2headban
