I added mention of my nearly 11 years in the U.S. Army, to let the agent know that I know something about being a soldier.<BR/><BR/>2. I added a bit about Steven's last name to the query. It's Mastersmith, but not until he forges the sword.<BR/><BR/>3. I am still enjoying the comments.

I had to change my shorts, I was laughing so hard!<BR/><BR/>Soul Bandage is a registered trademark of Proctal and Gimble, the makers of Move Your Ass brand laxatives.<BR/><BR/>The name Chromax was chosen using a pre-established formula. All dragons in this world have names that begin with an element referencing their unique abilities or reputation and ending in -ax. When the book is published, your will learn several other dragon names that follow this pattern. Chromax as a detergent? He laughes at such petty jests, plotting all the while to destroy your miserable lives in clever and excruciating ways.<BR/><BR/>I got the name for the land of Ardmore accidentally during a layover stop in Shannon, Ireland. Since it was Ireland, I felt divinely inspired.<BR/><BR/>EE, I thank you humbly for your help in this. With a minor change to reveal Steven's last name (Mastersmith, but not until after he forges the sword), I will be using your revised edition of the query to recruit an agent. When the book sees print, I will add your web address to my author's note to encourage other writer's in their quests for publication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1153400213483701822006-07-20T08:56:00.000-04:002006-07-20T08:56:00.000-04:00Is it just me, or does the Dragon's name, Chromax,...<I>Is it just me, or does the Dragon's name, Chromax, sound like a cleaning detergent? </I><BR/><BR/>Of course not.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like a car polish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1153400035339584342006-07-20T08:53:00.000-04:002006-07-20T08:53:00.000-04:00Sorry, 1555.
