However, on a happier note, I've received confirmations from all but one of the folks to whom I submitted Knife, so at least I know those packages arrived safely. They both said they were "looking forward" to reading the book even though it might take them a few weeks to get to it, so that was heartening.

I fit in nearly nowhere, too. And I also miss FidoNet sometimes.
Deathly Hallows? Gah. J.K. needs to lay off the marmalade.
Funny, creatively you sound a lot like my friend snickelish, who is also an evangelical Christian fantasy/SF writer with conservative views. She's in math grad school and just got her first short story published. She also seems to have some links to Christian fantasy/SF communities, which she talks about occasionally on her new lj.
I am sending you productive vibes-- you sound like you are on top of all things holidaysical, despite ill-timed chicken pox attacks. At least they're getting it over with, though. My brother has never had chicken pox, and he's now old enough for it to be really dangerous if he ever gets it.
Part of the reason my husband and I were so amused by my four-year-old's announcement was that we knew exactly what he really meant by it: "...so that means I can be on the computer all day, right?"
Re title: Okay, maybe she wants us to immediately think of barrow wights and the Grey Company. But probably not. On the other hand, "The Deathly Hallows" sounds like the title of an Edward Lear picture book. Maybe they've raised lear from the dead in order to have him team up with GrandPre on the illustrations. That could be cool.
Re lonely lots: Yeah, sometimes I wish I were in any way interested in going into the Christian Fiction field. It would make life easier, especially with the story I'm currently working on. But I just can't get over how measly and inbred the work of most Christian Authors is. (I'm with Johnny Cash: I'm not a Christian Author, I'm a Christian who happens to be an author.) But it is a bit lonely, out in the mainstream, isn't it? *sends hugs*
