That goes against every advice I've seen, which says you don't want it to appear like you're sitting on your hands waiting for one book to sell. (It's especially true in my case, with the contest win now 4 years old.) I'm not talking about pitching more than one book, just conveying with a few words that I don't intend to publish once and fade away.
