This whole thing about agents reminds me of the agent who contacted me, absolutely thrilled with my query letter and sample chapter, who convinced me that my book was destined to be a best seller.
Then I sent her my entire manuscript and waited for six long months while I cooled my heels... Finally, I received a letter that was written as though she had a split personality; she "hated" (her word, not mine) my book and found it totally unrealistic... Her biggest complaint was the main character, a programmer, created a web page. She said "everyone knows that a PERSON can not create a web page; it takes a CORPORATION to do that!"
There are just some situations that are so bizarre that I know in those moments my books are destined for greatness, because someday I will tell this story on Oprah!
