Almost The Last Single Woman

Wow. This just-announced book deal popped up on Publishers Lunch/Publishers Marketplace list (the paid-subscription service newsletter to the publishing industry) last night:

NON-FICTION: GENERAL/OTHER

Former New Line executive Cindy Guidry's THE LAST SINGLE WOMAN IN AMERICA, humorous true-life stories of her often painful personal misadventures in Hollywood and with her wacky family, as the author -- in her forties, single, childless, and careerless -- explores the complicated state of affairs of the modern woman and our culture at large, to Julie Doughty at Dutton, in a pre-empt, by Gillian MacKenzie of the Gillian MacKenzie Agency (world). gmackenzie@gillianmackenzieagency.com. Film/TV: ssmiley@caa.com.

I expect that the book will be available within the next twelve months, assuming nothing goes haywire.

And I think to myself, this sunny, chilly, city morning: I am not alone.

Over on Plot Participant, Chapter One of the novel has been posted. I plan to post Chapter Two (enter Paris) and maybe Three by the end of the weekend.
