    The future of my novel EARTH is now in the hands of a literary agent in New York. After reviewing my synopsis, they requested a full copy of the novel and say they will respond within three weeks. Tic-Tock-Tic-Tock...

    You can be sure we'll all be hoping they like it.

    And maybe you'll get a big advance.


    :sheep:
    Are there sheep in it?

    People like sheep

    Yes, there are sheep in it, but not the four legged kind.

    Good luck! If the publishing houses don't like it are you considering DIY?

    If the publishing houses don't like it I will e-publish it. Tacklebox, a couple professors and a minister were kind enough to preview it for me and gave me positive feedback so I'll get it published one way or another.

    Actually Christine I had this book in my head for over 40 years and finally put it on paper last year. Took a year to get some people to read, critique and correct errors. In re-working I paid tribute to a few friends on here if they can be found.

    No shades of grey. Maybe Tacklebox will give it a review.
