Call me a happy, snippy-snake!
Here's the link if you want to see what she said. And she was really kind - said I was quirky, humorous and knew my genre.
(YESSSSS!!)
Here's my revised version. (Personal info not included!)
HARD NOX is a 77,000-word YA Paranormal set in River Styx, Ohio near my childhood hometown and my debut novel. Appalachian ghost stories (handed down my family-tree with my grandma's biscuit recipe) have influenced my writing since my days as editor of my high school's literary journal. I blog at Witty Repartee (http://sarcasm-shoot-out.blogspot.com/) and am a member of several critique groups and online writing communities, such as the RWClist run by Ms. Charlotte Dillon. Should you wish to read more, I would be delighted to send you sample chapters or a full manuscript.
She suggested adding another quirky, personal detail. Hmmm. <taps chin>
This could take awhile. Couldn't I just bribe agents with hot hand-made biscuits and from-scratch gravy?
Huh? Huh? You know you want some ...
Ok, so maybe not.
Back to the drawing board then.

Very nice! I think you should say "and is my debut novel" otherwise it sounds like it "is near your debut novel."
Perhaps you should include the recipe for your biscuits and gravy?
