January- Had a great visit with Sports agent Allan Walsh in Los Angeles and got to see a great hocky game!
December- Sold a book for my client William B Davis and had a few days in Toronto and Ottawa to catch up and touch base with publishers and friends. Slowly moving forward in my quest for the ultimate hockey book. Also have plans in the new year to head down to Los Angeles to meet with some possible clients. It’s great to be selling so many books- now just waiting for the royalty cheques to arrive!

August 3rd- One step closer to getting a proposal looked at. I’m just waiting for one more testimonial. I still feel it’s worth it to get blurbs from experts in their field to help sell books. What do you think?

March 20, 2010
Well, today is my birthday and I celebrated by putting keyboard sticker letters (football) on so that I can actually read my keyboard now. I then took a long walk with a good cigar, had some great dinner and then settled in to watch hockey. I recently learned that I am now viewed as competition in the literary agent world. This is fantastic news for my career. I have a feeling this year is going to be a good one!
Oh yes, I forgot- in February I was quoted in an article by Kevin Blackistone- not too bad if I must say so myself!
March 17- I met with the hosts of Urban Rush this week. Keep your eye out for a new cookbook in 2011 from these great folks!
February 25,2010-Looking forward to heading out to Ottawa and Toronto at the end of March. I have a lot of meetings booked with publishers and other interested parties.
February 16, 2010- After months of negotiations I am pleased to announce that a tentative deal with Heritage House has been reached for the memoir of Terry David Mulligan. He was recently featured in Up magazine talking about his winery.
