Hi Joyce -- great to meet you here on Crimespace. Hoping to make it to Pittsburgh area (Mystery Lovers Bookshop) next spring when my new book comes out. I was fascinated by your story of finding a box of your mother's writings. Could be the intriguing opening of a mystery novel...
I should have read this message first. The only women I know with the maiden name "McCloskey" are my sisters, Carol & Irene, who grew up in Squirrel Hill. So unless you're a long-lost niece there's probably no familial connection. Even so, there are a great many fine writers here in Pittsburgh, and about to be many more as the newspapers shed staff. That's a crime in itself.
Hello Joyce --
Just posted a new blog on Crimespree -- "Yes, but is it Publishable." Thought you might have a little time on your hands over the holiday weekend, and if not have a great holday weekend all the same.
You won't believe this. After taking your advice and that of a couple of other folks at AQ, I switched my 1st and 2nd graphs in my query and tweaked the language we discussed. Today, (on a Saturday) I got a request for a partial from an agent while she is traveling in Italy! *SMH*
This AgentQuest is something else. When you are riding high, it's HIGH and when it's low, well, I can't change the font to show exactly how low it can get.
Truly, thanks for your input to the Query query. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. It's an awful feeling isn't it when theses things happen. As you say though, let's hope it will lead to bigger and better things for 'Glastonbury', and I wish you the very best of luck in finding a new agent too.
Hola Joyce and many thanks for connecting with me on Crimespace. Stillllll figuring out how this all works, but I did get a blog up on the 3 Most important elements of writring a short story with consideration to longer works and the novel.
Again thanks --

I know the frustration of finding and keeping agents! Good luck to you with that. And good luck with your series. It sounds like a winner.
