It reminded me about when I had my first novel published as an ebook, and while there are no million dollar sales YET, it remains a huge moment in my life and encouraged me to continue to keep writing and always keep trying. <BR/><BR/>I think it's fantastic what you've accomplished, and I congratulate you and wish you continued success.

Not yet, but I'm ever hopeful my fab agent will hit it out of the park for me. So is this through the new Juno/Pocket co-publishing arrangement?

Literally. It's been so long, soooo long. And nobody deserves this more than you, my friend. Your writing is on par with all the best - including Mr. King - and I've known that for as long as I've known you, dear Sonya. Remember when I said someday they'd be handing out little toys at MacDonalds with your movie (yes, movie) characters on them? Like Kung Fu Panda, but instead - the genie (djinn) and thief. Your thief will be the most sympathized and celebrated thief of all time - and everyone will love him - love to relate to him, love to imagine his adventures. You know, aside from this being one of the most satisfying and glorious moments in MY life, (I know, crazy, but true), you've shown us that with perserverence that comes from an unshakable inner strength - great perserverence - it CAN BE DONE. What a testimony to courage and tenacity. I'm still crying tears of joy. I can't stop. I'm so happy for you, dear friend.Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-73435946105954304912009-02-10T09:06:00.000-05:002009-02-10T09:06:00.000-05:00Aww, Kim...
