Yeah, Query letters have always been a real barn burner for me. I have an easier time writing the blasted book than I do actually writing the query letter to sell it. It's kinda frustrating really. But thanks for providing this excellent example for others to do.
One thing that might not be a bad idea to get some people together in here who've had some experience with what makes a successful query letter, and then maybe write a good, detailed tutorial complete with examples so others can write their own and have better success at getting their books out there. I say that because when submitting to a publisher or agent, a book can quickly be deep sixed if you don't have a good query letter with it. My first attempt at submitting via query letters got all my attempts deep sixed because the letter sucked. The odd part was, I followed the outline given to me in what was supposed to be an "authoritative" book on getting published. Hint, hint. (*rolls eyes*)
