Crescent - I'd advise you concentrate on Book One of that trilogy and get it out the door. You can polish Book Two while waiting to hear back on Book One. At the last Con I went to I asked specifically if I should include a couple of sample chapters for the sequel of my first novel, to let the publishers know that there was more than one book in me. I got a universal NO from the panel of authors. They said send in the first novel, and if you get a nibble you can always tell them you have sequels in the works. They also said that each book (of a trilogy, or any series) should be a stand alone story, with its own beginning, middle and end, that reads well on its own merits. Anyway, I just think you should try to get #1 done and out the door, and not wait to finish the other two. Good luck! jon
