I had GREAT meetings with publishing houses today and yesterday and I have a couple slated for next week. It’s a terrific feeling to know that publishers believe in my book. I wasn’t sure what to make of all the meetings. I told my agent, Faith Hamlin, that I didn’t want to get too excited about it, but she told me, “Cindy, get excited! You’re going to get a good contract.”

I guess it’s the practical side of me that wants to just remain cool about it.
