Queries Ahoy!

Yes! I have started querying! Basically, I'm an amateur at this kind of stuff. I mean, I send about 400 or more queries for Manassas, my first manuscript, and I got 400 rejections. But, that didn't stop me! I took a break from Manassas for a while and came back to it at the beginning of the year intending to rewrite it. As I was starting on the revision, I came across a notebook that held a hidden treasure I had long forgotten about, an excerpt from my baby Thiranos project.

There it began, and there it stayed. Since then I've written two manuscripts and have planned several more! Now I've revised the first manuscript in the Thiranos Tales series, Thiranos: Born of Fire, and I have begun to send queries to agents.

It's scary to send your work out there into the world. I picture it alone and afraid, shivering in an alley holding up an old tin cup, begging for loose change. I want to do all I can to help it, but right now, I just have to sit and wait. It's out of my hands now. I just pray that my work speaks for itself. All it takes it getting one agent to think, "Demon fighting leprechauns? This just might be the next trend!" Or something along those lines...

Anyway, if you are interested in reading my original manuscript in its non-revised form, go here: Manassas - Chapter One.

Until next time, I leave you with this little gem, Scotty who is apparently scared of shirts.
