NATE THORNTON SHOOK the rain from his hair with vigour before entering the towering central office block in Sydneyâs city centre. Heâd had to reschedule planned video meetings to make the train trip from Katoomba at Brian Hamiltonâs insistence, and heâd been further frustrated by his evasive remarks.
âIt has to be Thursday the ninth. I think Iâve found a resolution for your hero and heroine interaction problem. And thereâs a publisher whoâs interested in seeing a revised copy of your book.â
Late-night research had shown Brian Hamilton to be one of the best literary agents in Australia. After initial contact he had asked for, and read, Nateâs synopsis and first three chapters, then requested the full manuscript. His brutal honesty on its marketability had convinced Nate he was the contract negotiator he wanted.
Attempts to rewrite the scenes heâd specified, however, had proved that particular aspect wasnât his forte. And when heâd been tempted to suggest cutting them out, the feeling in his gut had told him it wasnât that simple, and to ask if the agent could find a better solution.
It wasnât the possibility of income that drove Nate to his computer. Astute investment of an inheritance and a significant part of his earnings while working abroad meant he was financially secure for years. Or, as his brother claimed, âfilthy richââa phrase he detested. Although he envied Sam the satisfaction heâd achieved as a pilot in the air force, currently stationed at Edinburgh, north of Adelaide.
