Raingun by John Blackport
" This is an exciting, fast-paced novel set in a historical fantasy world with a lot of magic and fighting. I like how the hero is conflicted in his desires and loyalties, and how his inner conflict plays out in action.

John Blackport Well, here we are on Goodreads. It certainly is a huge step up from those agent blogs! I have to admit I found Query Shark pretty helpful, though it was (unexpectedly) writing instead of queries.

415 reviews! Wow, Beautiful Disaster is En Fuego!
