Every now and then I see a book deal that makes my eyes bulge. And, okay, a teeny bit envious about the WOWZA factor of the money.

Janelle Brown’s ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING, about a woman and her two daughters coming together after their lives are dramatically and unexpectedly changed, to Julie Grau at Spiegel & Grau, in a major deal, for seven figures, for two books, in a pre-empt, by Susan Golomb at the Susan Golomb Agency (NA).

This books is listed as a debut which, of course, makes the money end even more spectacular. But, I’m assuming this book sale Janelle Brown is also this Janelle Brown, so it’s not as if this is the first thing Brown ever wrote. That makes the envy part a bit less rabid.

Congrats to Brown. And, again, WOWZA.
