<div id="attachment_338" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 349px"><img class="size-full wp-image-338" title="bigben" src="http://jeanoram.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bigben.jpg" alt="Maybe not *this* big..." width="339" height="452" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maybe not *this* big...</p></div>
<p>However, my query hook has made it into the <a title="Book Blog" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2009/apr/14/agent-challenge-query" target="_blank">Guardian&#8217;s Book Blog</a>. (The Guardian is a Jolly Big newspaper in Lovely Ol&#8217; England.)</p>
<p>&#8220;From &#8220;VI Warshawski meets Lucy and Ethel&#8221; to The Price, in which &#8220;two elves decide to defect from their kingdom and make new lives in a neighbouring land&#8221;, or The 15 Date Rule (&#8220;for astrophysicist Allie, falling in love is as easy as identifying the planet Venus&#8221;), it&#8217;s an eclectic mix of submissions, and Bransford has collected an impressive response rate from wannabe agents.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 15 Date Rule! That&#8217;s me! Something I wrote is being quoted in a BIG newspaper across the world! How freaking cool is that!!? It gives me a shot of hope when only a few days ago I felt a bit like a crash test dummy that had finally rounded that &#8216;last&#8217; corner and slammed into the proverbial brick wall and was left to slide down, a mortifying tangle of limbs and bruises.</p>
<p>Thanks Guardian and thanks <a title="Nathan" href="http://nathanbransford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nathan</a>. This made my day. Oh heck, my week!</p>
