Peeking into the rock

I think I found something else to do next. It's a long shot, but it's better than nothing. There's an editor at Ace who will accept query letters, and it says he likes hard sf and sf with romantic elements. Well, it's not all the way hard, but it has that technology prominence I think hard sf usually has, and there's a great dealm of business about the implications of terraforming and environmental manipulation. And it has a whopping big romantic element -- the protagonist is all romantic (though his romantic vision isn't to be part of a couple, but to have a lover within a communal household, because that's the kind of scoiety he lives in!) Anyway, I'm redoing the query letter again.
