“First， how old are you？” “I’m 48.” I replied.
“Are you in good 4 ？” “Yes， excellent. What’s this about？”
“I’ve sold your novels 5one and a half million dollars.”
I sat down in 6 . I had written over fourteen novels in twenty years， but each one had been 7by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been 8 ， but not me. Each time， I just 9writing another one. My husband advised me to find something else to do， but I refused to 10. Seeing this book 11 was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It’s a mystery story （like all the others） and it was on the best-seller 12 two weeks after publication！
