@marudolph918 @breefable She asked for a full request from me at 42 days. I'm currently on 78 days with a full manuscript. She is very, very busy agent.

@marudolph918 I am also currently at 42 days. YA Paranormal. When you look at her Data Explorer info, just beneath the Quick Stats, you'll see that there are a lot of unanswered replies from that time. I just don't think she's had time to get there yet. :)
