Ok Everyone I have head back from Robert Stephenson He is not interested but loved it and thought it was good. He has recommeded me to send it to Harper Collins with his recommendation attached.
A little dissapointed but happy he liked it enough that he recommended me to Harper Collins.

Nancy, that's huge! Please do send it on to HC with his recommendation and I'll have fingers, toes, everything crossed for you.

Go Nancy! That is amazing news and absolutely follow that one up.

I'm crossing everything for you. Good luck with the pursuit.

Thanks guys. I thought it was big that he wanted me to send it. Feel so much better now.
HC has asked that I go through a manuscript service before I send it to them and they said to take my time. I was a bit surprised with what they were doing as soon as I mentioned that Robert recommended me to them. HC were practically goign out of their way to help. Weird that I sent the manuscript to them before and it got rejected a few years ago.

The time just musn't have been right, Nancy. The universe does work in mysterious ways, you know!

Don't remind me Lou LOL I've noticed that lately and not just with the book!!!

I now tend to look at things differently now.

Nancy that is great news, even though i dont know who Robert Stephenson exactly is, it all seemed to work out nicely. Please do tell me more.
Hows it all going?

Timna the manuscript gets sent off to Lou's Manuscript services at the end of the week. The publisher wants it to get through someone first and get it as perfect as possible and they are willing to wait.

Now that Robert has placed his reconmendation on it(and he thought it was great. WOW can you imagine what that is like to have someone in the industry say its good)they are falling over themselves to make sure it gets a good chance.

I have now started the second book and its different from what I had planned which fizzled out and this one seemed to have life of its own. I don't even know where its going. I have a very basic idea but what comes out is like wow.

BTW have finished the edit on Cafe Muse I lost your address so can you email me it pls.
