Bone Cocky?
LMAO! I have another question. Is it okay to use song titles in a book? My characters listen to a lot of music. |

lol I'm just guessing. The job of a query letter is to sell the agent on the concept and potential but the job of the synopsis is to provide them with a map of what you have created and to help them see how your plot holds up. If you included information about the series, the agent would likely assume it was in the book.

Thanks,guys!
I've boiled the synopsis down to one page for the first book. I'm not mentioning that it's the beginning of a series. My agent is out there and I will love and squeeze him/her,for they are MINE. Forever. They will love me or they will get the hose. *deranged cackle* |

Het - You can totally slap, whack, hit people with a sack of bricks--whatever it takes.
![]() By the way, random chapter has been inserted into SM, and I have one more chapter and one more read-through to go, and then I'll be ready for the final draft. Eek!!!

I have had a very productive evening with ya ladies. I have threatened to slap people around, parried about bad advice, added all the agents I could find from my possible query list to my twitter, changed my twitter background, listened to my entire playlist... oh and I worked. I helped customers find the outfits of their dreams. How could I forget - my favorite - I was able to quote Jame Gumb - epic!
Notice - no writing occurred... whatsoever |

Wow. You learn something new every day.
If you go to ITANIMULLI.com, it brings up the NSA website. Now... spell ITANIMULLI backwards. :/ |

thing to keep in mind with things like that is that someone else can register a domain and point to someone else's website.
