Very interesting. She sounds lovely. She used to represent a friend of mine and I queried her years and years ago. She sent back one of the nicest rejections I ever got.

She is very lovely indeed, but she does have a reputation in the business for being scary when she's on the warpath. Basically She doesn't suffer fools gladly and hates dishonesty. Are you following her on Twitter Miss Moppet? She's talkative fun on all sorts of subjects, but the publishing ones are most enlightening. I do remember someone on Twitter posting to her 'So, you wanna publish my novel?' Boy, did he get a scorching!

Anyone who sends a Twitter post saying "Do you wanna publish my novel?' deserves a scorching!!! Now that I am doing a lot of reviewing, I can sympathize with agents, their slush stacks, and the people who get downright nasty if you don't think their novel was God's gift to mankind. Fortunately, the latter are very much the exception rather than the rule, but they can ruin your whole day if you let them.
