Bob Perkins
From today's Liz Smith column in the New York Post ...
. . . Now comes my agent, the mighty Joni Evans, who leaves the William Morris agency come January 2006, after 11 happy years, to try a different career. (She was for 25 years an editor-publisher for S&S and Random House.) Joni has kept Marcus Buckingham, Peggy Noonan, Fannie Flagg, John Stossel, James Patterson, Julie Morgenstern, Ann Coulter and little old me as clients all this time. She says, "I haven't thought out the strategy, but I'd like to serve the book community in some catalytic way. It's the only form of media that hasn't changed in decades. I'd like to start my own company; be a part of a new kind of publishing."Perhaps Joni's new lease on life has something to do with her "happy daze" romance with business guy Bob Perkins. She has that glow of serenity and success these days, and her pals wish her all the best.
Yep, that's our Bob Perkins, of Perkins-Butler.
