Well, you know, I was thinking to myself... "Self", I said, "What a Rudolph Valentino book really needs is a picture of Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt, just to round it off, of course. It wouldn't be complete otherwise.

Silly Snowflake, how could you have missed this vital fact ?

Well, I just got off the phone. The agent is very excited and it lookign forward to the challenge of presenting this. It won't be easy, but she says it is worthwhile. She is, however, by no means letting me off the hook for an updated proposal. But, in talking I now see what she was trying to do for a hook for clueless editors. It is for me to bring up in my introduction how Valentino's influence is still felt today and to cite examples. This I can do.

So, now what I have to do is my introduction, and two sample chapters. But the big news is, she is going to bat for me.

Lashbear, I'd put a photo of you in the book if I could figure out how to work it in!

Oh come now, we can't have a straight line like that just hanging out there. Someone around here has to plug that gap with a pithy comment...

First, congratulations, Snowflake! This sounds like a very intriguing project.

Now, for the agent. She wants two things: 1) an easy pitch (It's Valentino meets Brad Pitt meets gay disposible income!) and 2) 15% of mucho moola.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

AHA !! There's the Photo Op....

PS: if you're going to put a pic of me in the book, do not, repeat, do NOT use THAT one....
