She told me she was trying to get La Martiniere to buy the foreign rights. I said, "They would be FOOLISH not to make an offer on this book. It's brilliant." Then she wrote me a few days later and said, "We both have good taste. The book has been nominated for the NBA." Wow, Laini. I'm so happy for you. The book so deserves it.Red Fox Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447360422005559086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-72291994874514210642009-10-20T06:57:18.523-07:002009-10-20T06:57:18.523-07:00My heart is positively bursting with happiness for...My heart is positively bursting with happiness for you and Jim.
