Thank you so much for all the comments, guys (and I see the shifty eyes, Selah…) I just returned from a conference to find all these lovely sentiments and I just wanted to let y’all know I read and loved them and to thank Alison again for the opportunity to hijack her blog for a brief moment.

And Marianne, I’ll never forget the Big Red Truck either– talk about a moment to keep preserved for posterity!

Barbara,
I love the sound of your book. What you said, resonated with me:

“I wasn’t YA when I WAS YA, if you get what I’m saying. Because of circumstance and just my general nature, I was more or less an adult by the time I was twelve.”

I’m feelin’ you, mami. My life circumstances forced me to grow up, painfully so, at a very early age.

I look forward to tooling over to the bookstore and buying your book.

Much love and positive vibes!

Bought it! And, I actually gave it to the daughter to read. And she hasn’t done ANY schoolwork, thank you. She promsed she;d give it to me tomorrow when she’s done. I hope she does. :-)

Barb, congrats on all the success of your book. I’m looking at my copy now. I haven’t read it yet (the Black Dagger Brotherhood has taken me hostage) but I can’t wait to grab it. Maybe I’ll take it to work with me tomorrow….

I own three copies of Adios. One for the bedroom bookshelf, one for the living room bookshelf, one for the office bookshelf. I pimp it to anyone who looks twice in the direction of the books. The only one I don’t lend out is the one with the personalized autograph. Because it’s going to be worth enough in thirty years to send my grandchildren to college.

Not that I’d ever SELL it or anything. *shifty eyes*

I will never forget that day in Reno under the big red truck. You on the phone. Alesia pulling me aside and saying “Barb’s selling her book.” Me being like, “Um, selling? You mean now? Like in the middle of the casino on the first day of RWA?” hehe.

Congrats on the double RITA nod, you deserve it, chica! We are going to have sooo much fun celebrating!!!
