Thanks, you two, particularly for mentioning the agents.

One thing I'm always sure to mention in queries is the two more manuscripts and third in progress. But a question for anyone who might know: would an agent prefer to see consistency in a potential genre client's work (i.e. following up hard SF with more hard SF) or diversity (near future, far future, historical, etc.)?

Edit:

Yet another question: A fairly well-known agent asked for the manuscript, gave me rewrite suggestions on it, and is currently considering the re-draft non-exclusively. Assuming he passes, is this something I should mention in queries--in the sense that it says a colleague in the business liked it enough to offer advice and take a second look? If yes, do I mention the agent by name?
