I posted this in the Romance section, since, well, I write romances and Cathy suggested that I post it here as well. :) After mentioning that I needed a cookie when reading about all of the new first time authors having their books published, I opened my email and in my inbox was a request from an agent who said that he would love to see the first 50 pages of my Harlequin Blaze targeted story. Yay!

I know partial requests aren't much to some people, but after dozens (might as well make that closer to 100 in my career) of rejection letters, having a reputable agent request a partial means A LOT to me. This agent makes the third to have asked for a partial for this particular story, so I'm doing my own private Snoopy dance.

Congrats! I love the Blaze line. Here's hoping this turns into a request for a full and a big fat YES PLEASE!

Fantastic news, Sonarbabe. Do celebrate. Here's hoping the request for partial gets converted into one for the whole MS. Fingers crossed!

GOOD LUCK! :)

Again, thank you to all of you who have shown support! It means a lot to me. A huge batch of virtual cookies will be made for everyone should I receive any further good news... :e2cookie:

(or double rich fudge in the rejections section should I be told to bugger off. LOL) ;)
