Phew! (wipes beads of sweat off forehead)

Excuse my long absence, Talkbackers, but it had to be done. After locking myself in the house for the last two weeks (bar going to work that is), I have finally finished the latest (and hopefully last) major rewrite of the book. And I've even done the b****y synopsis and covering letter! ... Hmm, bum definitely looking more rectangular than circular these days ...

Now compiling a list of agents and publishers to send to, as well as toying with posting on youwriteon. But first, heading off to warmer climes on Friday to visit with the folks. Will send the book out when I get back mid May.

... And then, of course, one will have to get back to Book Two.

So, have fun while I'm MIA!

    Well done MDD. :)
    I'd say post on Youwriteon, you've got nothing to lose and the window of opportunity with Randomhouse is quite small especially when the reviews seem to be coming in quite slowly.
