Lori,

I'm Jealous!!!!  Your hubbie cooks!!! Your hubbie does laundry!!!  Now,
for the $64,000 question, do you rent him out to other authors? Now if
Sally's good David cooks and does laundry too, well, I think I will go
have a good cry.

Mine only gets to answer e-mails, process orders, fuse with our IP
service, maintain the website, go to the Post Office, and then about 3AM
he gets to start it all over again.  If it weren't for Frozen Foods we
would up the preverbal creek :)   In 1997 my Michael made the
dramatically awful mistake of saying "Let's put your artwork on the
internet!"  And he did. And he did it very very well. In a few months it
became clear that he was going to have to quit his job and come to work
for us instead of for them ... He has never said that he regrets it and
I have never asked because I simply can't do with him.  Plus if I am
working on a book, my Mike has the full weight of the business on his
shoulders.

As for being "a bonified Obsessive/Compulsive Personality" around a
publishing house, now that you are published you have earned the title
of "Prima Dona" or "Diva"  and you will see it written into the fine
print of the next contract, right where it says Sign Here.  Any more Fox
and I contract that I get at least two royal snits, three juvenile
tantrums, one really big pout, and a hint of "I'm never doing this
again!" per book. In return in their clauses they get at least one "We
have got to have it done yesterday", two "we need six more of
fill-in-the-blank", and five "late Friday Afternoon Crises".

And I love it!

I'm stopping over at your site right now to get my copy of your new
book!   http://www.WhisperingEagle.com
