I'll post a trip report soon, but first I wanted to note some good news -- my agent, Bob Mecoy, has signed my friend Angeli! I heard her read a month or so ago from her historical novel, and it was marvellous, and I told her to try Bob, and she did, and he liked it, as I'd expected. :-) No guarantees as to how things will proceed from here, but hey, she has an agent now. It's a great first step, and I'm so proud of her.
