after reading the first chapter of your inaugural novel one of the group of 80 people that you contacted? For some reason, I thought you could only contact one agent at a time but I guess I was dead wrong. I saw your YouTube on another author's blog ... she wrote a book about rescuing people from cults (what an apropos topic!) and for some reason, I thought I'd watch it. Great YouTube and so Seventies (the idea that if you want something/someone, first you have to let them/it go :)
