For 10 Seconds, I Was the Coolest Mom Ever

I had a great conversation today with Kevan Lyon, an agent at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency today. Marsal Lyon reps my books for adults. After a lovely half hour of book talk, our call ended and I went to pick up my sons from school.

While we walked to the car I told my three second-graders that I’d just had a very interesting interview with an agent. The middle-born of my triplets shot me a surprised look and eagerly asked what we talked about. As I told him, a look of confusion drifted across his face, sat there for about ten seconds, and then suddenly he cut me off with, “Oh! Now I get it. Huh.” Then he slumped away.

Now I was the confused one. So I asked him about his reaction and he told me: “You interviewed a book agent. I thought you meant you interviewed a SECRET agent.”

007 you are not, Kevan. But you’re still pretty cool in my book.
