So, I did it....
11 1/2 years of trying to get published, and I got an agent yesterday. She's so enthusiastic about Hot Shot, and I think she'll keep me focused. I owe a big thanks to my friend Diane for recommending her agent, and to Trish for encouraging me to submit one late night when we were emailing. From submission to the phone call was just under a month - the fastest thing that's ever happened to me in this business!
So she wants revisions to Hot Shot. I'm taking the rest of the week off from writing, I think, to clean my house and catch up on life before I dive into those this weekend.

Yay, Mary!!! That's fantastic :) You sooo deserve this. I'm still doing a happy dance for you this morning, and will probably be at it, for the rest of the week. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, Mary! I'm so glad your hard work is paying off.
Major happy dance! YAY!!! Mary, you're such an inspiration. Can we ask who the agent is? Yes, I'm a nosey woman : )
Soooo pleased for you!!!!

Tanya (doing a happy dance for Mary)
Congratulations Mary!!! Hope the agent gets you where you want to go!!!!
I'm seeing how many places I can say congratulations! :) Wow, nearly a month since we e-mailed about this that night. Time flies. It only seems like a couple of weeks ago.
Congratulations, Mary! That's wonderful!
This is GREAT news. :) So happy for you!!
Mary, I'm SO thrilled for you! CONGRATS!!!!
Congrats Mary! Doing the happy dance for you. Can a chance encounter with Gerard be far behind?
Mar, I've said this other places, but again, WAY TO GO, MAR! I'm glad you found an agent, and I know this is what you need to go where you want to go!!! I'm so proud of you, Mar.
So is Damien. :)

Well done!! A BIG, wonderful step for you. Can't wait to get my (autographed?) copy of Hot Shot!
That's totally awesome news! Congrats!
Wow, thanks, guys!!!! This is just really overwhelming!!!
The agent is Emily Sylvan Kim, who just started Prospect Agency. She's very excited about this book, which makes me excited about it (remember, I was hating it two weeks ago). And she's fast, lemme tell you!
Congratulations, Mary! So excited for you!!
Congratulations Mary!! Woo Hoo!!!!!! Now you've got someone else fighting to sell your work too. And even better, it's someone who knows what she's doing! Can't wait to pass the champagne when you sell!
Hoody-hoody-wooh! (Had to come up with a new noise. All the others were already taken.)
Big congratulations and cyber champagne!!
Thanks, Esri! Love the new noise! Thanks, Michelle and April! Yes, ESK does seem to know what she's doing! Mostly I love her enthusiasm.
Yea, Mary - I'm soooo excited for you!
