This is honestly a great story. I know that books are not hot property these days, but I love to write, and I really feel I hit it this time.

I've been offered a decent amount for the right to publish, and I'll retain all rights to anything regarding the story, characters, places, etc. I'll get the upfront check and then the residual sales at a respective percentage.

I want my first one published with. That's my only deal. First one is not funny. It's fast moving and disgusting. Between the two, there are no recurring characters, two different books altogether. But this one is insane on a great scale. It's fucking hilarious, and sad, all at once.

If by chance you know someone, I'll tell you the bottom line. They beat it, I'll buy you a couple drinks. Otherwise, your interest is enough and I'll make sure a copy ends up in your hands.

Same with L-Pink.. cause he's just the fucking dude who kept me away from glitter.

I've had way too much to drink.......
Congrats. I look forward to reading it.

I am going through the process of getting a new agent right now. I had an agent and things were looking good, then the agent got arrested for defrauding various other clients. My book got held up in all the legal crap surrounding it, but now everything is back to normal.

Good luck with the book. I hope it sell really well for you.
