Before contacting a literary agent, I usually check them out using Querytracker.  It really is a good resource for getting a feel for an agent. Below are three examples which I can personally verify. Agent #1 Always replies to queries within fourteen days. Agent #2 Has a habit of hanging onto queries for several months before sending out a rejection letter. Agent #3 Never replies unless interested although he will reply if sent a follow up email. I could probably compile enough examples of response times, willingness to give feedback etc to fill a book. But the point is that Querytracker does provide very accurate insights to the way each agent deals with the slush pile.

With Truthseeker under consideration with an Indie publisher and Secret of Heathcote Manor being read by a literary agent, my thoughts have now turned to another work in progress. Ravens of Ragnarök has been gathering dust for quite a while so is overdue some of my attention. Five chapters have been written so far. 

 The full manuscript for Secret of Heathcote Manor is now in the hands of a literary agent.
