Congratulations, Brad!

I have faith in you; you're a talented writer and I could see your works being very marketable and competitive once they're out on the market, no matter when that may be.

Keep us posted!

Mailed off the manuscript to Ms. Becker. She said max turnaround time should be 72 hours.

Today I queried scifi agent Jenny Rappaport of the J. L. Perkins Agency (formerly FOLIO).

I need more patience.

Didn't I tell you someone would pee their pants and squeal in excitement? of course, that was in reaction to the kylosexual T-shirts you will be putting out as soon as the book becomes a best seller :-D

Good news!

Bradley,

Thanks for the first fifty pages! I was instantly engaged and think Chionophobia will have a wide market of appeal. If you could please mail me the entire manuscript, I can let you know Folio's final decision on the story.

As you know, there are two things I would like for you to be thinking about.

(1) I would like for you to start adapting it to a screenplay. That shouldn't be very difficult since it already relies so heavily on an excellent dialogue. You have a real ear and pen for human emotion, something I hope to see further in Prosthesis.

(2) Please write up an appendix on the mathematics/medicine/etc. used in Chionophobia. I can see this becoming very quickly a "cult hit" due to its conspiratorial nature. Expanding the Chionophobia universe more directly into ours with such documentation is only going to increase appeal.

Thanks,

This is awesome.

Wow Brad! A screenplay? That's impressive. I'm really glad you tightened up everything and sent it in (I just noticed this thread right now). I hope you hear good news from now on. A request like that usually shows promise.
Perception is everything.

I know a famous person!!!

Well, almost famous. You will be famous. I'm so jazzed. Promise me you'll have a book signing in Texas somewhere so I can go.

I'm so excited for you, Brad!

So was that the yes we had been waiting for, or an older one...?
