I had a great autograph party Saturday. The fan club had coffee and cake before the party. It’s funny, but I think the fan club is made up of people I’m a fan of. I love and care for them all and they make me feel great just showing up to say hello every time I have a book come out. I think the fans and readers sometimes don’t truly understand how important they are to the writer. I wish I could tell all my readers that, “We’re a partnership. Without you, there wouldn’t be me.”
I got a note from my editor this morning that says I will be on B&N’s bestseller list this week. I’m number 48 out of 50. It’s the bottom of the list, but I’m on. I remember the first time I was on the USAToday list. I think I was 149 out of 150. I was showing it to my young son and saying, “I’m not very high on it.” He didn’t see it that way at all. In fact, he said, “Mom, you should call that writer at 150 and say, “Hello, I’m kicking your butt.” Of course, I’d never do that, but it did make me laugh.
Until next Monday….
Question of the week from Mariana: Who do you love to read?
Answer: If a book takes me away I love it. I don’t really have a favorite auther…more like a hundred. Writers are readers and every time I good to the bookstore I find another one I love.
Question from Gayle: From TEXAS RAIN Series: Will Sage have her own book?
Answer: I’ve done this before and enjoyed it. Sage will play a part in all three of the brother’s stories, first Travis, then Tobin, then Teagen. But my plan is as of now to have a fourth book all about Sage.
