I'm hoping it was, cos I like to live vicariously. ;-) Congratulations on – well, everything, from getting an agent so quickly to getting a publishing deal so quickly.

I just queried Kristin Nelson yesterday, and while my query is actually similar in style to query #2, I have a full request for the ms from Kensington, and I didn't include that information. Your query gave me a good example of how to do that. Oh well, I will for the other queries I send out. Thanks! I read this about half a day too late, LOL.
