Ah well, so now I'm 0 for 2 on my latest novel. My manuscript is at one other place and is currently being reviewed. BTW, has anyone ever had a rejection because their book was too long?? That's what I recieved, they only consider books bewtween 80,000 -95,000 words.. so I guess 161,120 sort of comes in outside that range. I wish that this fact was mentioned in their site. I went back and checked again but didn't see it. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
