Well, my Egyptian historical novel is now officially on sale. I'm so nervous, but equally thrilled and excited. Wooo!!! This is so much fun! Even rejections will be fun. This whole process is just wicked awesome.
On sale!

Congrats! Have you a link, so that we may kick the tires and generally check it out? (I used to read quite a lot about ancient Egypt.)
I don't have a link, alas. I've kept it all offline since I started writing it in June of last year. But I can tell you that it's about Queen Ahmose, the mother of Hatshepsut. (And Hat does make an appearance as a baby and toddler toward the end of the book.) And I can tell you it's got a pretty dark ending. I like 'em that way. 
Maybe I should start keeping a serious blog about my writing adventures about nowish.

Very cool! One of my alltime favorite books is about Akhenaten, A God Against the Gods, by Allen Drury.

We've got our fingers crossed. It's tough on those whose keyboard skills were iffy, but we figure your success is worth it.
Maryn, excited for you

Thanks to all of you! I am feeling optimistic. Based on some of the other books this editor works with, I think my book has a darn good chance with her. I won't be crushed if she turns it down, but I think it's got a fighting chance.

Another leg of the journey has started. I'm so excited for you!
bloody hell! It wasn't that long ago since you signed with your agent!
True! My agent is awesome. She's a real trooper.
I agree!! I hope editors think this is a good one. I do! But we'll see how it goes.
And thanks again to all of you who've visited this thread and put in encouragement! I really appreciate all of it. I'll definitely let you know when I hear something, good or bad.
