Non-fiction/Lifestyle: Cris Robins's THE KID TURNED OUT FINE: Turning the Tables, about what we do when we're the ones who become the cause of our kids' fear, to Paula Ford-Martin at Adams Media, in a nice deal, by Cris Robins at The Robins Agency (world).

Given what we know about Cris, that's a sort of creepy subject. What we know about
Adams Media is that they're a small press located in Avon, MA, that says on their
submission page, "We accept submissions directly from authors (including first time authors) and also from literary agents."
So, after close to a decade of trying to be an agent, Cris has finally sold ... her own book. To a place that doesn't require an agent.
(A "nice deal" is from [size=-1] $1.00 to $49,000.[/size] I'm just guessing, but I'm guessing that the actual number is more to the left on that scale.)
