A month went by. Rachel phoned. We had an offer. A really great offer. For two books. Another phone call and she filled me in on the details of the final negotiated offer.
It's even better. Now I'm totally loving these phone calls. Yesterday, we accepted a "very nice" deal from Wendy Loggia at Delacorte Press. I'm going to be a published author! And that is the story of how a geeky girl grew up and got her dream. Thank you for being part of my dream. Posted by Barrie. Congratulations on your sale, Barrie!!! No one deserves it more than you. This is wonderful news! Congratulations and well done on all your hard work!

I've got a bunch of young readers in the house, so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your book when it's published. I too followed the link from your Agent's blog And must say I teared up reading this post. I don't know you from Eve, but it feels so good to be sitting here at my desk and suddenly feel part OK very, very small part of one of the most exciting times in a stranger's life.
So happy to hear this news. Hope you celebrate properly! Barrie, I remember your adorable title from the Stiletto contest. How wonderful that you have finally sold!

What this man's life was like? Who were his friends and family? Did he have any interesting hobbies? What was he doing at the side of the highway late at night? And from all of that wondering a story starts to emerge.
