Why I Love David Hale Smith

Literary agents are wonderful beings. They pimp your work. They ferret out new markets. They give you feedback on your work. They read through all of the boring parts in a book contract, so you don't have to. And sure, they ask for a small sliver of the action, but is that so big a price to pay?

Especially when you have an agent like mine, who stepped up to the plate to save my dignity?

David, that Billy Joel CD will be on its way today. God bless ya, man.

As Billy once said to Brother Ray, "I'm keeping the faith."
