PSA for GBS fans in the UK

The B'ys are scheduled to play at The Borderline in London on August 21! There's a pre-sale going on on greatbigsea.com right now for those who are registered users of the site, so y'all might consider zipping up there and snarfing some tickets! Enjoy! ^_^

Aww, man!

I just got word back from Le Agent regarding my submission of Lament of the Dove to her, and the word is no. However:

"There was a lot to like here--not least of all is your very original premise for your characters Kestar, Julian, and Faanshi. Your world felt real to me as well (which is often my complaint when I read fantasy on submission). Ultimately I just didn't fall in love with the story or feel emotionally connected enough to take it on. I do hope another agent feels differently.

We'd definitely be open to seeing future work from you since the talent is certainly there."

So, a no, but a very encouraging no. I'll take that. I just sent her back a note thanking her for her time looking at the manuscript, and noting that I do have other work in progress and that I'd be delighted to keep her and her agency in mind.
