Right...so I finally got around to keeping my '4 Out There' plan in full effect. Since I don't think my query letter is the best (the hardest part of the whole submission thing so far has been the stinking query letter) I decided to let 2 lucky publishing houses have a first crack at my manuscript. That's right, doctor. 2 places on opposite sides of the country are going to get their hot little hands on my 320 page baby.

Be gentle. It only wants your attention. Here are the contestants:

5. Peachtree Publishers, LTD. (GA)
6. All About Kids Publishing (CA)

And because it's damn expensive to send these bad-boys out, I decided to slap the following publishing house with a query letter:

7. Dutton Children's Books

Okay then, that should erase any excuse I have for not starting work on the next installment. I've already got some readers of the first Travis asking for a hint or a taste of his next adventure. I can only smile and say, the title is: Travis & The Magic Sandbox Book Two: The Broken Knight Knob. It's all in my head, ready to fill the pages.

I just gotta let it out.
