I do hope Cally's OK, she posted on her blog last night... Apologies because I'm posting on a Friday morning when it's not my turn, so this isn't a proper coffee morning post, but I've had a very exciting week, and I've been longing to tell everyone at the coffee morning, so much so that I've been pressing 'refresh' in my browser for the last three hours, and I can't wait any longer or I'll explode! You see, what happened was, you know I finished my novel last week, so I had the weekend off to recover and celebrate, then on Monday I sent a query email and synopsis to six top agents. And within 48 hours five of them responded asking for sample chapters. Five out of six! Within 48 hours! (Don't know what happened to the sixth. As she's an agent, maybe she's suffering from piles ;-))
Anyway, there probably won't be any more news for weeks if not months, but it has been VERY exciting and I couldn't wait any longer to tell you all. And this week I definitely have the energy for a YAY ME!!!
