Just heard from my darling, beloved agent. The delay was because she was in fact re-reading Dogs Don’t Lie and …

she likes it! “A lot” (why doesn’t she love it?). She found the characters “extremely appealing” and thinks readers “will connect with them.” (So, why doesn’t she love it again?)

Nevermind, I’m happy. I’m more than happy. I’m thrilled. I’m chortling with joy. And she is putting a list together so the thing can go out to editors next week. And then I can be on tenterhooks once again, waiting….

am seizing this moment of joy with both hands, boys and girls. Both hands.
