one of my examiners has endorsed the novel, and i've sent it to the publisher she suggested with her recommendation, but i still haven't heard back from them yet.  (she's A Big Name in the literary world, so that should carry some weight).

it's all so subjective.  i mean, i know i'm not a towering literary genius, but i can write, and when i see the likes of dan brown and jeffrey "cunt" archer earning millions from their utterly abysmal writing...  grrrrr.

oh well.  there's still time before i die, i suppose.  ;)
You write well, Lucifer.  :)
