I think I will be, too - thanks for the vote of confidence. But, really, the agent isn't silly. Think of it this way: I'm just reading I Shall Wear Midnight and enjoying it immensely. Pratchett is very entertaining to me, and often thought-provoking and sometimes chilling. I like his characters, and I can usually visualize his settings. I think he's a very good writer. But - he just doesn't move me the way Tolkien does. I expect, to this agent, my book was what Pratchett is to me. That is, good, but not emotionally engaging to them. It happens. I'm sure I will find someone who is truly struck by it and wants to work with me. Maybe it will even happen quite soon! I just have to keep trying.
