I "MET" JONATHAN KELLERMAN

I hope this is OK to post here. I just wanted to share how a really big deal, New York Times mega-bestselling author like Jonathan Kellerman can reach out to the "little guy" (or gal, in my case).

He emailed me out of the blue that he had read my new book and really enjoyed it. (He said he laughed out loud so much, his wife gave him funny looks.) I have no idea how he even heard about it.

I just wanted to share with all my bookaholic friends something personal about an author many of you have probably read; that someone so established would take the time to reach out to a newbie. It really was incredibly nice of him (even more so because, of course, I then asked for a blurb and he gave me a great one. It's a big deal for authors to give blurbs, so this was really especially fabulous of him).

From now on, I'm not reading his books via the library - I'll be buying them! And, if I ever get "big" enough (not in the Weight Watcher's sense), I'll email back and offer to blurb HIM.

Thanks! I'm still on Cloud 9 (what's wrong with the other clouds, anyway?). I emailed his blurb to my editor and it's going on the 3rd printing which is happening this week!

Hi Mia,

It's QUEEN OF THE ROAD (like me :). I won't post any more about it here, but you can read about it in my Eons profile.

I just purchased your book today. It just piqued my interest. Will let you know when I get to finish it. It is on my TBR list.

What a great experience and it tells a lot about Kellerman too. Glad you could share this with us.

Yes, he's a prince of a guy, and coming from a royal like myself, that's high praise, indeed. :)
