Coincidences are not always the business of chance, for sometimes fate plays a heavy role. Take my lack of an agent dilemma. Friday marks eight weeks since submitting the manuscript with no answer in sight, despite a nudge. The absence of a reply is a reply. A passive reply, in my opinion, but a reply nonetheless.

So before I go cry me a river, I check my mailbox. A letter sent months ago suddenly appeared. A request from an agent for the first 50 pages and a synopsis.

How you like them coincidences, eh? 😉
