Communication Important

If you have an agent, you've got to keep those lines of communication open. Not so sure my agent does that. I'm still waiting to see who they submitted my first book, KILLER OF KILLERS, to since last May. I talked about my agent(s) before, and how she (they) don't want to represent my second book, THE VASE. I never heard of anything like that, but OK.

Because I like the responses from publishers I've been getting on my own regarding THE VASE. Three publishers are considering the manuscript right now, and I don't even know if any publishers ever responded with that kind of interest in KOK. When I inquired last May, my agent told me which publishers she submitted to and which ones passed, and which ones were still being waited on.

But no word if they submitted to anyone since then. My conclusion is they haven't. But I shouldn't have to make "conclusions." It's better that the lines of communication are open, and I don't have to guess. Sure, I understand agents have other clients and they're busy as all heck. But it's not a good idea to keep anyone in limbo about anything. That's all.
