'How about Jean Auel, finally publishing the next of her sex-among-the-cave-people epics?' I sat up.
'Jean Auel? Really?'
'Well . . . not a hundred percent, but it looks good. Last but not least is a new Mary Higgins Clark. I know what tennis court she plays on, and so do you.' If I'd gotten that sort of news six or seven years earlier, when I'd felt I had a great deal more to protect, I would have been frothing; Mary Higgins Clark did play on the same court, shared exactly the same audience, and so far our publishing schedules had been arranged to keep us out of each other's way . . . which was to my benefit rather than hers, let me assure you. Going nose to nose, she would cream me. As the late Jim Croce so wisely observed, you don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger, and you don't mess around with Mary Higgins Clark. Not if you're Michael Noonan, anyway.'How did this happen?' I asked. I don't think my tone was particularly ominous, but Harold replied in the nervous, stumbling-all-over-his-own-words fashion of a man who suspects he may be fired or even beheaded for bearing evil tidings.
'I don't know. She just happened to get an extra idea this year, I guess. That does happen, I've been told.'
As a fellow who had taken his share of double-dips I knew it did, so I simply asked Harold what he wanted. It seemed the quickest and easiest way to get him to relinquish the phone. The answer was no surprise; what he and Debra both wanted — not to mention all the rest of my Putnam pals — was a book they could publish in late summer of '98, thus getting in front of Ms. Clark and the rest of the competition by a couple of months. Then, in November, the Putnam sales reps would give the novel a healthy second push, with the Christmas season in mind.
'So they say ,' I replied. Like most novelists (and in this regard the successful are no different from the unsuccessful, indicating there might be some merit to the idea as well as the usual free-floating paranoia), I never trusted publishers' promises.

Could you help me correct the stuff I wrote?
On New Year's Eve, we went to the Town Hall, where ( were ) gathered a lot of people. Twenty minutes later, the Town Hall clock would strike twelve. But, at five to twelve, it stopped. Seems like it refused to welcome the New Year. Then the crowd began to laugh and sing after getting / learning it was an accident. What a bizarre Eve / evening!
