Let's Get Cozy

I've been trying to sell an agent on my cozy mystery for about two years. Any agent. I can't remember how many times I've revised the first chapter. Too many.

"The protagonist isn't nice enough," one agent says.

"The protagonist is too nice and old-fashioned," another agent says.

I'd almost given up on finding someone who might read the first couple of pages and like my protagonist. Now I've found that someone, and she's a well-respected agent, too.

So I've made the copies, packed up the forty pages and brief synopsis she's requested and put them into the mail. Along with a few prayers, angels, and whatever other positive things I could think of to send.

Does voodoo work with agents? What about black magic? White magic? Any kind of magic? If anyone knows, please fill me in on the details.

Meanwhile...keep reading and writing!

Best,

Carolyn
