And btw, if my children accompany me to DC for a reading, which I'd love, I promise they will be exceptionally well-behaved (see Ello's post). They are amazing people.<BR/><BR/>Therese,yes, you were a vigorous cheerleader as well, for which I'm thankful. Very. As for pub date, August, September? When I know, you'll know. Yes, the foreign rights team at Random House is amazing! John Robison said publicity and sales are equally wonderful. I can't wait to meet them all!<BR/><BR/>AmyLynne Griffin and Amy MacKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107479565926998943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-23815030633014550612007-10-23T17:01:00.000-04:002007-10-23T17:01:00.000-04:00"I'll never get tired of hearing this story."Sound..."I'll never get tired of hearing this story."<BR/><BR/>Sound familiar? :)<BR/><BR/>You know, I was impatient for quick publication at first--but now I'm very glad to have what will be seventeen months between sale and publication (well, US publication) because there <I>is</I> so much to it and I'm appreciating having time to process it all.<BR/><BR/>Do they have a pub date for you yet? Seems to me August releases have been good for RH fiction this year...maybe next year too!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations to you and your foreign rights team!! At this rate you may earn out before the manuscript goes to press.<BR/><BR/>p.s. I think Lynne and I live on the same wavelength--'cause who else was saying "when," hmmm?Therese Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947928823404887883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-69286918275156127292007-10-23T14:20:00.000-04:002007-10-23T14:20:00.000-04:00Larramie is back!

Of course you made the entire sale happen by simply "letting go"...something that works every time! *G* <BR/><BR/>And PLEASE don't say you're not anxious for publication, I'm counting down the months as are four other countries thus far.<BR/><BR/>Lisa said: "Congratulations to you Amy.
