I'm writing it now, it's called Wounds, Our Hearts, and I expect it to be published by 2003.

Are you published? I've written a pretty good historical fiction but can hardly get an agent to give me the time of day. It's in the vein of "Legends of the Fall." At this point I've speculated any number of reasons why agents aren't interested in checking out something that's a little different, but I have an observation. Seems as though the business is dominated by females. Being a male who has written a story that involves death and war and a strong male character, I think my work is being prejudged and slighted without being given a chance because it doesn't fit the lib-publishing females template. I don't know that, it's just a gut feeling based on a hundred queries. Be interested in knowing your experience and "luck" thus far.
