I got awakened by the ringing of the telephonic device at ten to eight this morning. It was the publisher, so I had to get up and do the pricing stuff so the book could go off to the printer today. We did it and then I went back to bed and awoke five minutes before Barbara Deutsch got here. We had our meeting - she's written a book and it's time to get it published - based on the stuff she does as a life coach. It's funny, irreverent, and really smart and helpful. I think she's going to end up with the publisher I use (she'd talked to another but they didn't feel that good to her) and I told her that I'd make sure the process went smoothly. Then I got her to make the best decision she's going to make - to let Grant Geissman design it. That way, if she takes the fast track program, she can actually have her book in June.
