Just got an email from an editor at one of the publishers I recently queried about the Blackbeard novel, and the editor wants to see the entire manuscript!

So along with the entire manuscript of The Last of the Hand, which is out to a different editor at a different publishing house, as of tomorrow morning I'll have Heart's Revenge out to an interested editor! And this publisher is a big one.

Can I just say how cool that is? And the irony is, after spending $40 to mail out 15 query packages on Monday to various publishers for various novels, this query was sent out -- you got it -- via email.

Woo-hoo! Fire up the ol' printer, boys. Laaater.
