When I became an agent, a lot of agents called me and said, welcome to the side of angels. Angels? Really? I thought I was signing on for the dark side.  And most of the time, it is pretty dark if you ask me. (Of course, I could find the dark side of a lollipop.) But not today.

Today I got to tell a writer that we sold her book, which is basically the best moment in an agent’s life. Well, that and opening royalty statements with checks inside. I also signed a new client with a book that involves poetry, my first love. And I pulled a baby out from under a burning car.

 No, that blinding light you’re seeing isn’t my halo. It’s my shit eating grin.
