She's been doing a great job so far, recommending a really fine developmental editor, being patient about my contract, mentioning me in an interview she did with Writer's Digest, and, in general, giving me the sense that my stuff matters and that she's excited about it all. Thank you Ms. W - I'm sure I won't be able to stop blabbing about it, but first I have a LOT of editing to do. xoxo, L U-Dad, very cool!

Oh the biggest and most loving of congratulations, my dear friend! When I read in your notes that the agent had said she'd loved it, I thought you were in there and I am so thrilled and delighted that this is the case. You're going to be a star, BL, and I will be heading the queue in the bookstores for my copy on the day it's out. Wonderful, wonderful news! And so richly deserved.
