I'm talking, of course, about TJ Water's book, "Class 11", the story of the first CIA class put together after 9/11. Just had an email from TJ, and he said:
"Book is now set for October 19 in stores everywhere. We just sold tv/film rights to Fox on Friday. Don't know ifthey'll do a movie or a series (they're talking series), but I'm not holding my breath just yet. "
No question but that his agent and publisher and editor are doing right by him. :))
I do believe I've been waiting, come October, for a year to get my hands on this book! :))

And then came another email announcing this new book. I'm not sure, but I do believe Jeremy Blachman had a blog. In any case, he has a neat website. So here's his announcement [I do believe he's mighty happy]:
FROM: Anonymous Lawyer
TO: All partners, associates, e-mail correspondents, support slaves
RE: Required reading
Announcing a temporary change to the firm's long-standing policy that employees are not allowed to read anything besides lease agreements. Anonymous Lawyer: A Novel hits stores today, July 25th, and is also available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell's, or your favorite on-line retailer. No, not that one. I mean the one that sells books.

In the novel, Anonymous Lawyer sets out on a quest to eliminate his biggest rival, The Jerk, and become chairman of the firm -- while dealing with incompetent associates, his spendthrift wife, and the inner torment deep in his soul. Very deep. It's not a compilation of blog posts. That would be like double-billing a client. And we never double-bill clients. Okay, we do, but not this time. New material.
USA Today calls the book "wickedly amusing," Publishers Weekly calls it "side-achingly funny," the New York Post gives it 4 stars out of 4, and my grandmother really loves it too.
We'll also be needing you to work this weekend on a memo for a case we've already settled, and there's a typo somewhere in the tax code that we need you to find. Thanks.
Back to work,
Anonymous Lawyer
