Agents who don't rep suspense

Why is it that the agents I just love - Nadia Cornier, Rachel Vater, Kristin Nelson, Jenny Rappaport, Lori Perkins - don't rep my chosen genre, suspense? I'm trying to figure out if suspense is just not as popular a genre among agents or if agents who rep suspense just don't blog as much. I mean, there are a few - the gals at BookEnds, the Knight Agency - who do suspense, and I like them. But it's disappointing to see that so many of the agents I feel familiar with don't rep my genre.

And then there's Miss Snark, who seems like she would and who I feel like I'd love to have as my agent, but the whole not knowing who she really is thing makes it kind of difficult.

And, yeah, I just totally felt like whining.

And, an update on my post from a few hours ago. I put my political fiction on hold. I really think that, career-wise, starting out in the genre I ultimately want to end up in.

Sentence fragment ;)

Seriously, though, I agree; put it on hold.

That you, Val?

It wasn't meant to be a sentence fragment. I just got distracted and lost my train of thought :p
