I got an agent this morning.

She was recommended by another agent, and seems to be really on the ball. She's already looked over this contract and terms, and the contract from my other publisher which has clauses about option on the next book, and thinks she can get much better terms.

So fingers crossed.

We'll get to that point, don't worry. I expect the first time we go out for a meal, I'll make her take them off and give them to me.

I hope you'll post on the deal that the agent eventually makes for you compared to the initial offer.

So far, the advance is up to 6000, and she thinks she can improve on the royalties as well.

Begging your pardon and all that, but knickers to me means rugged corduroy pants with an elastic hem on each leg that goes just below the knee. Sort of like American Football pants which aren't corduroy. I wore them in elementary school many, many years ago.

What exactly is the modern usage if I might ask?
