It's another overcast day here in Seattle, but I have some EXCITING news! I met with my agent for dinner last night in Corvallis (yes, I know. I was visiting for 6 hours strictly on business and didn't think it'd be prudent to tell ALL of my friends that i was in town. But I'll be back to visit very soon, I promise!)
Anyway, she told me that she's finished the final read-through and she'll draw up a contract within the next few days! But that's not even the most exciting part! One of my best friends, who is also a beta-readers and a bridesmaid, was there to pick me up from dinner, and after I'd told my agent about her impressive beta-reading skills, she hired her on the spot and bought her a brand new kindle ten minutes later from the OfficeMax next door!
Needless to say, we're BOTH ecstatic! But it gets even better! Even though my agent told me last night that my book probably won't hit shelves for another year or so, it's for a very good reason. As soon as I sign the contract, she'll send my manuscript to New York so it has a shot at a big-name publisher, an e-book deal, and possibly even a movie!
I'm playing with the big boys now!
Onward and Upward,
