So…. I was just emailing with one of the other DMLA agents and realized that seven weeks from today I will have been an agent for 13 years! (Yes, I started when I was 12. Ha!)
I also just sold my 20th original book of the year this morning (and the 21st and 22nd).
Et in arcaedia, ego. 
Congratulations on both 🙂
Apparently you have some small aptitude for the business, hm? Go, you!
Quite the prodigy!
22 books this year so far? Wow, that’s impressive. Congratulations on a career you enjoy!
Lucky 13–congratulations!
And “Stolen Car” is my absolute favorite Beth Orton song.
Congratulations! 13 years at a job in today’s disposable career climate is something of a feat in itself. :raises a glass of cyberbubbly:

Congratulations on the anniversary and on the sales!
Congratulations! And that’s quite a start to the year too!
I’ve only been doing this half as long as you, and I’m sure you already realized this, but it’s only just sinking in how lucky I am to have a career that is not only challenging and rewarding, but is downright fun! The fact that I get to experience vicariously the joys of writing a bestseller is a nice bonus. ;^)
Hey, thanks…. And, yes, there are so many times when the job is its own reward. I’m glad you’re enjoying it so much yourself. 🙂
see frog.
You mezzed me with the frog again. *stares*
Congratulations! Here’s to many more — *clink!*
*clink* Amen.
Super congrats. On both tenure and this year’s sales. (21st…and 22nd…? Isn’t average sales like err… 9 a year if you’re lucky?)

I don’t actually know what the average sales are. And I’m only counting original novels – not subsidiary rights sales or work-for-hire deals. Last year as of this date, I had sold 9 original novels. *blink* So it looks like I’m coming a bit strong out of the gate this year.
You know… there are laws against monopolizing. 😛
Sure, but there are the authors of 22 books who would probably contribute happily to her legal defense fund…
…and I want a signed copy of Becoming the Breakout Agent by Jennifer Jackson -Insider advice for taking your genre writers to the next level. (Forward by eBear and Surricat) 😀

Wow. Congratulations!!!
