Just received this news from agent Janet Reid (thanks for pointing out, Chuck!)

Then there was that BEA Writers Digest Pitch Slam conference. I bitched and
moaned and whined so much about going that Chuck forced me, yes FORCED me,
to find a great writer, sign her, and sell her book for six figures. I blame
Chuck entirely for that failure of expectations.

Chuck comments, "She's being sarcastic, of course, but she DID sign a client there and sell her book for six figures."
