And thank you all for the lovely comments and thanks again Chrys for hosting me.<br /><br />Thanks, Sania!<br /><br />Stephanie: I originally asked my agent to submit another manuscript I completed, but after reading a whole lot about self-publishing and how successful self-published authors made it, I actually changed my mind and I'm going to self-publish that book too. I know though that self-published author that are really successful still need agents to sell foreign and film rights. I had the opportunity to give my book to a producer a couple of weeks ago, so I asked my agent if she could follow up on that and start maybe picthing film rights. I know it's highly unlikely that she'll succeed, but one's not to give up hopes, right? ;-)<br /><br />Thanks Kristin, and great choice in nominating Chrys!! ;-)<br /><br />Thanks so much Nick!<br /><br />Are you a police officer too Slumdunk? I love talking to my cop friend, he's always got some new stories for me. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922888671399516573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-67258439703528878092014-05-26T13:43:04.580-04:002014-05-26T13:43:04.580-04:00Thanks Pat, those genes still fascinate me a great...Thanks Pat, those genes still fascinate me a great deal.
