Q&Q‘s Deals page is on a holiday break, but we would be remiss if we didn’t mention this deal, from The Globe and Mail‘s “The Biz” column:

Rebecca Eckler has signed a deal for two novels with Key Porter Books. The first, Private School Confidential, is due in 2009. Eckler and Erica Ehm are also collaborating on a children’s book, Mischievous Moms, for Key Porter.

Is it just us, or do both Private School Confidential and Mischievous Moms sound like titles of books kept at the back of the store, just beyond the beaded curtain and the “Adults Only” sign?
