So thrilled to hear the news! You are such an inspiration, to throw yourself into a most-amazing new manuscript right after getting dumped by your agent....everyone always says Keep Writing, Keep Writing but it's hard to find the courage to face a blank page after going through something tough like that. And you did it!!!!

Best wishes for a quick sale! Miriam

Of course, I've congratulated you elsewhere, but somehow it doesn't seem official until it's on the blueboards, accompanied by lots of smilies.

CONGRATS, JAYE!!!
