HE DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!


My Dad's book got sold!!!!!!!
My Dad is a published author!!!!!
My Dad is a real live writer with a real live book coming out!!!!!


The most exciting news of our lifetime, so far. Daddy's agent sent out his book, his first novel, to all the big publishers of the world. Next thing we know, a hot shot lady editor is calling Daddy on the phone saying OOh I love you, OOh its flawless, OOh perfectly executed la la la. Well, that was enough to get our hearts racing. The next day was the whirlwind day straight out of a movie that made us, and all our friends and family, weep tears of happiness. The hot shot called the agent and made an OFFER. The agent made an even bigger COUNTER OFFER. The hot shot ACCEPTED. And by the end of the day, Daddy had a mind-blowing deal with Harcourt Books for HARDCOVER rights to North America. We still can't believe it, but it is really true. All his hard work, all his never giving upness, all his and Mama's belief that it could come true and they weren't going to compromise their lives for anything less...the universe has rewarded us! Do you know what that means people???? It means THE UNIVERSE IS GOOD!!!!!!! What a relief.
