I'd love to read this book. I just stumbled upon your blog, and I will definitely be back! I don't read very many author's blogs, but I always surf book blogs with interviews and reviews.

-I visited the 20 questions; It's cute that you discuss issues with your cats. I'm wondering if they have any useful suggestions!

Posted by Margie | February 4, 2010 3:39 PM

Okay, now I've got lots of author blogs on my "must-visit" list. Thanks.

One that I read regularly and enjoy: SunSinger.

Posted by Sheila Deeth | February 4, 2010 10:11 PM

I read yours, obviously. Meg Cabot. Kristin Billerbeck. Karyn Bosnak and Sarah Dessen (for some reason I only read these two ever so often, even though I know they post more than every couple weeks lol).

I visited the 20+ questions. I can't believe they kicked you out of a bookstore for taking pictures. Did you tell them who you are? Would they kick Angelina Jolie out for taking a picture of her movies or the tabloids she's on?

Posted by Amee | February 5, 2010 12:37 AM

A couple author blogs I love to read are Wayne Johnston, Corey Redekop's Shelf Monkey and since reading his debut novel, I've been stoping by to visit Chad Pelley.

Read the 21 questions, boy can I relate to the unexpected guy thing! The first time I saw my husband I dropped my jaw, raised an eyebrow and rolled my eyes!
