My Sister Has Another Deal
Faithful readers: You may recall that last week my sister, Terri Micene, landed a three book deal with Midnight Ink. Well, she’s done it again. This time she’s landed a three book deal with Berkely for a series of craft mysteries. The deal was done by Jessica Faust at Bookends, LLC. Terri and I have four more siblings, and we get cracking, I estimate we can sign contracts for 48 books in the immediate future. Stay tuned!
Terri’s string of deals is amazing. Anyone whose anyone in this biz understands how difficult landing that initial deal can be. For all the angst and gnashing of teeth this is a great success story and I’m very proud of Terri for her accomplishments. Kudos to Jessica Faust as well: she’s an agent who clearly understands the marketplace. Jessica has a blog and I’ll be adding a link this very day.
Let’s hope Terri makes Wellington Leg a destination on her book tour. I’m sure that by then the airport road will be clear of Roman skirmishers.

Let the mayhem ensue! I will be interviewing cat brushers, microwave chefs, jam spreaders, pool boys, and ghost writers this week.
Right now we’re only half the family the Goldbergs are. We need to step it up. Get John to host This Old House, the Vineyard. Rick can replace Rick Dees on the top forty. He’s halfway there. Kate’s got a book or two in her - Why I Brought Home a Saint Bernard, for one. And Jeff’s Physics is Hot series will be sure to generate a very nice deal.
Cornelia was right. Spending the morning thinking up clever answers to blogs is far more interesting than actual writing. Two books, this year. No problem. It’s all about time management.

If Kate’s St. Bernard could be trained to solve mysteries, we could rush a copy to Otto.

I’ll have you know, that St. Bernard has a name, it is Nick! What about the 5 chickens, 7 fish and 3 hermit crabs are they not important?!? There is at least a children’s book in there somewhere. At any rate, Kate is already published! Just go to voicesfromtheheart.org and listen to the Motherless Child track on the O Hear My Song CD, that’s me, big brudda-
Kisses,
Sister Kate
