I
have
an agent.
*SQUEEEEEEE!*
The only reason you're not facing a half-page of blithering gibberish right now is because I had a few days between the offer of representation and actually chatting with the agent and saying yes. So I've calmed down a bit. Not much, but a bit. Whoa, was it hard keeping my mouth shut until now.
I'm delighted to be able to tell you that Eleanor Wood of Spectrum Literary Agency has agreed to represent my novel DARK HEIR.
I don't have much else to say at the moment except blithering gibberish and another heart-felt *SQUEEEEEEE!*, so I think I'll go caper around on the ceiling again.

Congratulations! Persistence pays off !
Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance!!!!!
Yay, you, JJ!!!! I'm so happy for you!
And it's nice to see you back, of course!!!
Merry just told me your good news! Had to come by and say Congratulations!!! What great news! Put me on your email list for when your book comes out and I can buy it!
WOO HOO!!!!!!
Congratulations!!! What great news!
Just heard from Merry as well.
Woot! Way to go!
JJ, don't you think it's time you deletes the word "aspiring" from your "About me" section?
Looks like you have arrived.
Ditto the query request. Hopefully you did not lose it in your computer meltdown.
Anonymouse: Thank you, and thanks also for peeking out of the woodwork! I very much appreciate it.
Josh: Thanks Josh, and thanks again for reposting the news on your own blog--I was really touched by that!
Conduit: Thank you! If not for timely computer backups, this all could have been a big pail of tears. :-)
SS@S: My thoughts exactly!
Julie: Yay, margaritas! Thanks so much; I probably will post the letter because I have to properly thank all my blogging buddies who helped me hone it.
Bunnygirl: Thank you! This came at a great time; I was actually beginning to consider stuffing the novel under my bed and forgetting about it...
Merry: Happy dance with Happy Cat! *boogies* Thanks so much, Merry, and thank you again for reposting the news on your blog and even telling others about it. That was incredibly sweet of you! I had a serious "Aw, shucks" moment when I saw that.
Ello: Thank you! I sincerely hope I will be able to hassle you someday to go buy my book. :-D
Precie: Thanks so much! WOO HOO was pretty much my reaction too--only much, much louder. Hee!
Josephine: Thank you! I think I'll leave "aspiring" up there until I actually have a book deal, however. Don't wanna jinx anything! The query letter will likely go up this weekend, along with my thanks to those who helped hone it.
I come from Merry, too, bearing congratulations!
Kalynne: Thank you! I really appreciate that you would take the time to stop by and say that. :-)
Mucho congrats!
Travis: Mucho thanks! :-D
YEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Crap, sorry I've been on the road and I missed this announcement.
W00T! Way to go, Jen. Congratulations!
I'm so frickin' tickled for you!
Dwight: Thank you! *dances around* I couldn't have done it without your support, Sarge!
