I really feel like what I've written in her blog is all that needs to be said on the subject. I think they prefer their privacy!<BR/><BR/>(https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2861575260847050598&postID=1002774933663558461&ext-ref=comm-sub-email) for those who want to check it out.<BR/><BR/>I've got an agency interested in seeing more of my work already. I sent out 23 queries this past week, and one was Maya Rock. My fingers are crossed! I'll let you know as soon as I hear.<BR/><BR/>MaryMary Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099418115687661920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-3653210032902303202008-02-19T17:23:00.000-05:002008-02-19T17:23:00.000-05:00Holy crap, you posted a scene with Catriona and Gr...Holy crap, you posted a scene with Catriona and Greame on DB's site!<BR/><BR/>YOU TEASE!<BR/><BR/>I thought it was VERY good BTW.<BR/><BR/>Be sure you post when you hear back from Maya Stone, I have my fingers crossed!<BR/><BR/>TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-71705350311299519492008-02-17T09:11:00.000-05:002008-02-17T09:11:00.000-05:00Hey, the way I've got it figured is if we don't he...Hey, the way I've got it figured is if we don't help each other, ain't no one goin' anywhere!

They'll be on my list to query next. And you're right, why not start at the top! To me, it says you believe in your writing enough to play with the big boys right from the beginning. And don't worry, if I ever do get in, your name will be dropped very favorably.Mary Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099418115687661920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-46285240922251433492008-02-15T21:57:00.000-05:002008-02-15T21:57:00.000-05:00Mary,Hope your hubby is better and enjoys his new ...Mary,<BR/><BR/>Hope your hubby is better and enjoys his new bionic body part...wow, that might make a good Ellora's Cave story..."The Bionic Body Part".<BR/><BR/>I purchased a book that has Scottish insults in it, but haven't received it yet, and not sure if it will be of much help.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the two curses you gave me. <BR/><BR/>Greame...He reminded me of my character Duncan McCue...not in appearance, but just that I knew he'd be back, and I can't wait (He's book 3)!<BR/><BR/>Have you checked out the Writer's House site? They have BIG name author's, I just got a really good feeling about Maya Stone, not only does she have the COOLEST name, but since she's a junior partner, I figured I might have a better chance with her. If you click on her name, it takes you to a page telling about what she likes, and she likes to be transported to another time and place...sooooo YOU!<BR/><BR/>When I finish up w/ my revisions, she will be the first I query. I figure I might as well go to the top of the ladder to get rejected, and just work my way down from there. I'm hoping those first rejections won't smart near as bad if they come from really prestigious agencies.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there kiddo....I'm sure some day when your rich and famous, you can put in a word for me too!<BR/><BR/>TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-79418007932367266302008-02-15T18:31:00.000-05:002008-02-15T18:31:00.000-05:00Oh, PS - I'm still looking for Scottish expletives...Oh, PS - I'm still looking for Scottish expletives for you, but just can't find them. You could say "prig", pronounced prick, or you can also say "poc mo hon", which means kiss my ass!

I think he enjoys that status.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, there are plenty of agents out there still yet to be queried, and thanks for the tip at Writer's House.<BR/><BR/>The coach driver's name is Greame, and I can't wait for you to read about him again. I certainly enjoy his company (and so does Cat!).<BR/><BR/>MaryMary Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099418115687661920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-73216849534025812242008-02-14T23:46:00.000-05:002008-02-14T23:46:00.000-05:00Mary,I'm so disappointed for you!

It would be worth a shot and she accepts email queries.<BR/><BR/>I really hope to see book two in print, for you, but mostly because I am selfish and want to read more about Catriona and where the heck that coach driver (can't remember his name now) shows up again!<BR/><BR/>I'll keep my fingers crossed on the screen play, that would certainly open many doors.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you here again.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, and stick to your guns.<BR/><BR/>TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.com
