Number 1 attempt to get me an agent

So I have chosen an agent to try for on my Soul Dancer novel. And will be mailing out the query plus sample chapter as soon as I can figure out the self addressed stamped envelope thing, which when it will be mailed from the US to Canada. I'm hoping the post office knows how to get that cleared up. .... I have always been fine with email rejections. Anyway, this is the first attempt, and since it is by mail, could take a bit.

Now to hunt for another...

I did also send it to an agency in Canada, because I liked the agent... and because it is Canadian. originally I sent the Afflicted to them and they liked it, but not quite enough to take it on. The Afflicted is not the sort of novel that would appeal to many, I think, a little too odd to be marketable... but fun to write. Soul Dancer is more a straight forward fantasy, a bit darker as well, plus more reflective of my style in that genre. I am more light hearted with my urban fantasy, maybe, or maybe I like dark. That was an email query anyway, so I should get a response in a few weeks from her. Keep your fingers crossed for me...
