Okay, I'm soooo jazzed that that Library Journal used my name in the same sentence as Debbie Macomber's (one of my all-time favorite authors!!)!!
"...Debbie Macomber, Marcia Evanick, and Holly Jacobs are other writers who like to bring 'em on home."
Romance - 4/15/2009 - Library Journal
HanWhen my first book for Harlequin came out, Debbie was doing a signing down in Pittsburgh, about two hours from me. I couldn't make it, but a friend bought one of her books for me, and she signed it for me, saying she loved the title I Waxed My Legs for This? I always thought that was such a sweet thing to do. I spotted her at a RWA conference once, and did a mini-gush. You see, authors are readers, too. We have those special authors who are auto-buys for us. And when we, well, at least when I, meet those authors whose books mean so much to me, well, I have the urge to gush. But because I try to be professional about it, I do a mini-gush. I tell them that I love their work, that they've inspired me...and then I go back to trying to be just one professional talking to another. Try is the main word there! LOL I think I pull it off most of the time, but inside I'm still that giddy fan, hopping up and down in excitement! LOL And that's sort of how I feel about having my name in the same sentence as Debbie Macomber's. I'm trying to be all cool and it's-just-another-part-of-my-job, but inside, I have to admit, there's a lot of jumping up and down with giddy fan excitement! LOL
