I too was not impressed with the $5K with the details I have heard about you, but still you have a deadline and not much time and while as has been said you shouldn't sign away any of your abilities to write and stump for other books, you need to stop worrying and start writing and this could be your big chance.
Your mother will be fine. Just tell her that your work is like making and selling
confectioners sugar. Very fine, very sweet and very specialized and not for everyone. (You can use that if you want.)
Go get them, gal!
