Sienna (aka: Sea) used to be really outgoing, loved surfing and the ocean (the beginning of the book takes place in a Nor Cal Santa Cruzy like town). While in Indonesia she meets survivors of the tsunami (sea theme again). Usually when I say my novel is called SEA, people give me a confused/blank look, so thanks! I'm sorry you got a rejection notice. Those suck. But a really sweet one is always nice. I'd love to talk to you more about this F&F stuff--my email is heidi@seaheidi.com. BTW, can't wait for the next contest!heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338301854400974266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-52206246246607147572007-04-23T13:32:00.000-07:002007-04-23T13:32:00.000-07:00Good luck with SEA, Heidi.

A girlfriend of ours has her debut book with them and absolutely LOVES Liz and Jean. And they gave me a super nice rejection recently. Very sweet and encouraging. So, fingers crossed that they take you on!<BR/><BR/>I have a good feeling about your book...that 3-movie combo just sounds insanely cool.<BR/><BR/>And, sorry, LindaBudz...the almighty Jay said we had to wait till Monday!<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-20507744440546485192007-04-22T17:45:00.000-07:002007-04-22T17:45:00.000-07:00Thanks, Eve--I thought of you mermaids this mornin...Thanks, Eve--I thought of you mermaids this morning as I was flipping through this week's Entertainment Mag. They use that technique all the time to describe movies--we should start a movement to integrate it into our query letters!

I re-read LOTF several times this past year, and it's just brilliant in so many ways that I never appreciated as a kid. <BR/><BR/>And Jay, I think my new YA romance is kind of The Notebook meets Roadtrip meets Love Story...sappy, but funny, but sappy.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments, guys!<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-87220203122650199582007-04-21T21:12:00.000-07:002007-04-21T21:12:00.000-07:00This is a great exercise!

And I liked your movie combinations, especially for Edward Tualne.
