Sorry, I have been lazy. I received the galleys for Luck of the Draw on Aug 28th. Galleys are review copies that are sent out to, you guessed it, reviewers. My agent asked for one copy since she will be having producers and scouts coming through her office the next couple of weeks and wants to check for interest. I also sent a copy out to a friend of mine in Hollywood who knows people at Paramount Pictures. He said he would try to get it in front of the right pair of eyes. The book itself is still on schedule and it is a little less than three months away. My agent said the sequel is ready to go and she will be making the approach to St Martin's Press shortly to guage interest. That's all for now. I am sure I am the only one reading these so why bother going too long? ANT
