Last week, I reached into my huge pile of old correspondence from bygone days when I was looking for an agent and/or publisher instead of putting my books out directly, which led to a re-posting of some ancient (and extremely extensive) correspondence from David H. Morgan, a literary agent and editor who is now, apparently, associated with the University of Richmond. In this correspondence Mr. Morgan explained that, to conserve paper, he was recycling rejected disposable manuscripts by using the clean side for his letter, a fact that generated a bit of interest (Mango Momma: “I want to see what’s on the back of that rejection letter.”) So here we go!

#2 – I’m getting hungry

Saved from a vampire in a church? Joe doesn’t sound quite right… I think I heard “Born Free” playing in the background when J.D. ran across his land. I think Arthur did more with that mushroom that hold it in his palm. 0.o
