Wow. So, I haven't said anything in a while. What's happened in my life? Many things. The agent who has expressed interest went ahead and rejected the manuscript, but he did so with a three page, very detailed letter explaining what worked and what didn't, some suggested reading, and a very clear interest in any future material. My writing group made it clear that agents don't do that. Then he called me to follow up. Agents really, really don't do that, unless they're damn serious. We've exchanged some additional email, discussing my next project. I really feel that I have a good chance here. Oh, and he's one of the top five agents in the genre. I didn't know that at first. I probably wouldn't have submitted to him if I'd known that. Scary.
