JJ, I never thought of looking into online critique groups. Soooo after reading your suggestion I spent several hours checking them out. OMG, there are hundreds of them!

After reading a dozen random posts, I've come to the conclusion that many posters are frustrated. They don't even get a response to their posts, never mind a critique.

Since I spend too much time online anyway, I think I will just continue to comb over my book with a fine comb…and then invest my time once more in seeking an agent.

But still, thanks for your excellent suggestion.
