8/23 - query
8/24 - First 10 pages request
8/28 - kind rejection (I'll take it!)
"Thank you for letting me see your work. While it's quite well done, I'm afraid it's not the kind of book that I generally find enticing. I'm sure you will find the right match for an agent, and I wish you the best of luck on your writing path."

Her email where she requested to see the 1st 10 pages said her reading time was "6-8" weeks. I gave it 8 weeks, plus two additional months and am closing this out as a CNR.
It would've been great to have the same agent as Robert Charles Wilson but moving on...
