Hiyah, Janet. Thanks for being my friend. Is Stephany around here too, or is it just you?

Hi Janet,
Thanks for the add! I love your memo to self above. Hehe.

We can have a Kristen Weber Fan Club!

It's great to see you here at Crimespace, Janet. Thank you for the very kind comment. I was tremendously lucky to have Kristen Weber as my first editor, and I remain a huge fan of hers.

Hi Janet, after we spoke about you representing me as an agent, I recieved an email from a publishers who is going to take the manuscript! My first book and I am so thrilled! In the future, I may need your services, so I will always keep you in mind.

Sincerely,
Kristine

Thank you Janet! I appreciate your interest and I will send out as you request. *BIG SMILE*

That's for the partial and fulls. I got complaints from goat farmers and chocolatiers.

Are you saying the ritualistic goat slaughter and voodoo dance in the vat of chocolate are no longer a part of your query requirements?

Sigh. Writers sure have it easy these days.

HI Kristine! The only way to query me is to send a query letter and pages. The instructions on how to do that are on my website jetreidliterary.com

I'll be glad to read your stuff, but it has to come in the mail or via my email query process. I do this because it's how I keep track of things. I know it sounds anal but honest, it's what keeps this place from falling into anarchy!

Hi Janet, I don't know if you are taking on new clients but I am currently seeking an agent. I have been looking for a year and the good ones are taken. I saw your bio and you said you are an agent. I have a full manuscript ready, thriller/suspense based. You can go to my page and look at the synopsis. If you are willing to take on a new client I would be thrilled to work with you.

Thank you for your consideration. If you are too busy I understand.

I guess that's what we writers get for coughing up a mere 15% - they expect so much more. There's people here at my house this very minute, washing our many windows. They haven't broken any yet, but I"m being kept out of my office.

Same scotch you sent before and remember, you're the slave. I've got a lot of windows need washing!

Hmmmm, what sort of slavery did you have in mind? What sort of scotch?

Sorry to take so long to answer, I was out of town for a few days - Haven't read either book you mentioned but will have to look into them - love discovering new authors to read ........

For that kind of scotch I might sell you into slavery.

Hmmm, well, I wonder how good a bottle a three book deal would be worth? Maybe I'd even part with another bottle of fine single malt for something like that. Gotta keep one's agent happy.
And vice versa, of course.

Hi Janet, I was just stopping by to say hello. Have a great week.

Kristine

You like my picture? LOL! It doesn't compare with yours! Now that's a picture!

You're welcome. I've worked in the television business for many years, but I'm new to the book biz. This should be interesting. Thanks for the add!
