Update #4: Alright, this may get complicated so here we go; try and follow me here. I have now submitted a total of 55 queries. I received 16 rejections out of those 55. Another 15 of those 55 are over two months old and I have not received a reply back which means the agents have most likely passed on my project. This brings me up to a possible 31 rejections. The other 24 queries have been sent within the last few days. Here's where it gets a little complicated. I have recently went through and edited and refined my manuscript. I think it's much better now than it was only two months ago. I decided to take a leap of faith and resend to all 16 agents who originally rejected it and those other 15 who never responded. This could either be a great thing for me when they notice my persistence or a bad thing when they simply get annoyed. Either way I'm back up to 55 queries floating around out there and am pretty much back at square one. I will let you know how many more rejections I get or if I get any takers. 
Optimism and persistence! My two best traits!
Update #3: I haven't submitted any queries in awhile and out of the original 19 I submitted I was up to 9 rejections and 2 requests for half of my manuscript. The other 8 queries haven't been replied to, yet. I decided it was time to send some more and get it out to more agents. Today I sent 9 more queries out and will be sending another 9 out tomorrow. Hopefully something stems from this. So in perspective, 9 rejections out of 38 and 2 interests, but 9 of those were just now sent out. More updates coming. Wish me luck.
Update #2: Now it's up to six rejections (still not bad), two requests for part of my manuscript (which I think is awesome), and eleven that haven't responded, yet. Still optimistic and I'm sending more queries out sometime this week. Just have to find the right agent; it only takes one.
Update #1: So I've sent 19 queries out and received three rejections. So far not so bad in my opinion. Will keep everyone updated of course.

Book Cover
Well, it's official, I have a cover for The Eternal War! Was just sent to me yesterday and after a little tweaking and Adam amazingly putting up with my indecision, we have the cover that you will be seeing on bookshelves!
I'm not going to make it public, yet, but if you'd like to see it (and I know of at least a few that will be interested) let me know and I'll be glad to send you a note so you can.
It's really happening!! :D

RELEASE DATE: In progress
Prequel or Sequel?
Hi there. As you all know, I just signed a publishing deal for my book which should be released sometime by the end of 2013. I haven't been contracted to write another book, but I've been strongly urged; especially if it's related to my current novel. Here's my question, should I write a prequel or a sequel?
I have ideas for both, but am not sure which direction I should go in. I am curious as to which readers enjoy more? As a reader myself, I prefer sequels, because I find prequels a boring lead up to characters already established. In my book, however, I never established my main character; he's pretty much a mystery and almost nothing is
Book Contract
Just signed a book contract! That's right, folks! My novel will be seeing the light of day after all! I got an amazing offer from some amazing people that I just couldn't turn down. They believe in my work just as much as I do and are very supportive. After a hundred rejections, I managed to snag that one yes! The one that counted!
I never thought I'd say it, but I understand what every author says now. I was told that there's only one publisher for your book and you have to drown in the muk before finding the gem. It's true. I got turned down by a lot of publishers and agents that I really had my heart set on, but I wouldn't trade my publi

Yep as Jello said, only takes one, I know from sister, you really have to be super patient and persistent, it weeds out the people that expect it to be easy though I guess!
