Update on querying

Remember Dream Agent? Dream Agent fell off the face of the earth. To be truthful, it wasn't so much Dream Agent and Dream Agency but for clarity here, that's the term I used.

So since my second follow-up e-mail went unanswered, I decided I had nothing to lose by contacting the agent whose name is on the letterhead. I told her that I'd queried this guy, that he asked for a full and that I never heard from him after that. Told her I contacted him twice since. I asked if he was still there. I asked if not, should I query the agency again? And I explained why I'm keen on the agency (they represent a certain author whose work I like). I sent this e-mail this morning.

This afternoon -- a Saturday -- she wrote back and apologized. She said that he left the agency about 6 weeks ago (which is after my January follow-up). She also told me to send her my query and the first 100 pages. So I prepped it tonight and it'll be on its way. She told me she'd be out of town for a while but that she'd get back to me upon her return. Even if she passes, hey, I know someone's definitely going to read it this time ;)

I still haven't heard from Dream Agent #2 and that's the only other place I have an active query.
