So I am hitting the agent thing hard. Stimola, and Sherman say no go on a query. Kouts should be getting hers in the mail today. Schulman says send it May 1st. Here’s the first page of the dummy for your critique. Click the picture for a better look, please.

The first day of spring moves from March 20th to the 21st depending on the year. This year it is the 21st, so happy spring. Here is an illustration, by me, and a poem, by Prince Redcloud from the Lee Bennet Hopkins anthology, Days to Celebrate. The sentiment is wonderful except I am still freezing. There is always hope, which “springs” eternal.

Spring
    Prince Redcloud

How pleasing-
not
to be
freezing.
