Chasing agents

I blogged a few days ago about my "really good idea" for a book to target at New York. I emailed the two agents at the top of my list about it, sending them a proposal for a proposal (ie, a blurb and the first page.) One responded somewhat negatively, saying (very kindly) that she already represented an author who had done a somewhat similar project, but she did offer to take a look at it anyway once I had the proposal ready. The other said outright that she'd like to see the proposal. So I need to get that done.

I wasted this morning, though, looking around for better graphics for my website. I found them... now I just need to convince DH he needs to spend the time redoing all the buttons and everything else. Somehow I think he's not going to be thrilled about that. Maybe I can convince him to consider it my birthday present!

And finally, I dashed across town this morning to get the October Romantic Times. There's an NCP ad (toward the back of the magazine) featuring a number of our books, including In the Mood. I didn't get a review, because the last-minute edits made it impossible to submit an ARC, but the ad looks terrific.
