Deal Round-Up!

I posted a look at our Berkley/NAL deals from the past year as part of my blog posting on agents who write. But I also want to share our overall sales so far in 2006. Keep in mind, we don't wind up posting everything on publishers marketplace, despite our best intentions. So this isn't a complete glance at 2006 so far, but it least gives you a fairly detailed glimpse of the deals we've been making:
