Agent?

Finally heard back from the potential agent. He is speaking at Write to Publish conference I am attending in Wheaton in June so we plan to meet up. He has read all my stuff. So at least he thinks it is worth the time to meet.....Even if he will just handle the Christian submissions because those doors are totally closed!
