And So It Begins

This message from Mills & Boon popped into my in-box this morning:

Dear Ms McKinley,

Thank you for sending A Whisper of Sin.

We shall read it with close attention and let you know our decision in due course.

Please keep a note of the above reference number, should there be a query.

Best regards, Editorial

Any one who's received that message before knows what a long, anxious wait I'm in for!
