Restless in Cheney

Yes, I'm restless here in Cheney. I've written a novel, THE HAT PIN MURDERS, A RED HAT MYSTERY. I've had it critiqued several times and had it pretty well ready for publishing. I gave it to a local publisher and I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for a response from him. When I met with him about 2 1/2 months ago he seemed pretty enthusiastic. He liked the idea and he really liked my marketing plan. Great! He said he had at least 20 others in front of me and he would get back to me in a couple weeks. I contacted him again to ask how it was going and was he interested in my book. He responded quickly that he hadn't gotten around it looking at it but would in a couple weeks. So I decided to sent it to an agent. I had considered this agent a year or two ago but wasn't quite ready to get it out there. The agent is on the west coast, in fact in Washington. I immediately got an e-mail back that my query had been received and they would respond with in 2 weeks if they would like to represent me.

Yes, I'm restless in Cheney. Waiting for someone to let me know what they think about my book. After all I worked on it for 5 plus years. Will I ever get it published? Wait and see. Mean while I starting on ANOTHER RED HAT MYSTERY.
