Here's a new game. Let's play six degrees of literary agent (or publisher or movie producer). This game is similar to Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but slightly different.

In this game, the point is to link me and my book (The Agency Delta) with a literary agent, a publisher or a movie producer. To play, simply think of every person you know. One of them may already be a literary agent, a publisher or a movie producer. If so, stop and go to the next step. If not, link through your friends until you find one.

For example, perhaps you know a guy named Jeff and he knows that lady who did the voice over for that butter-substitute radio ad and she knows the person who wrote Napolean Dynamite and they know a movie producer. You tell Jeff to tell that lady, etc., etc. and then they call me and turn my book into a movie.

It's obviously a fun game that everyone will be raving about soon and it's also a really good activity for April (why not, it's better than filing your taxes). And if you are the person who eventually links me with the right person, you can have my Vanilla Ice poster (it was forfeited in the previous contest). I may be able to part with some of my other treasures; you'll have to ask.
