Rowena,
Thank you for being our explorer. I wish you a good experience for the
courage you have shown, and look forward to the result.

I went ahead and submitted my proposal. My editor had good things to say
about them. But, he also said that they are very choosy as to whom they
represent. Because I write genre fiction and not general mainstream, they
may reject my work. 

I figure that it costs nothing to have them look at it. If I am selected by
them and choose to go with them, I will let you all know what I think. I've
been around this block before and am venturing out once more after a 30 plus
reprieve. 

This is a huge step for me. So far, I have not heard anything from them.
I'll let you all know.
