Okay, so this post might be a bit rambling. Those who know me really shouldn’t be surprised, though.
I got a few messages from people who read ‘Of Love and Corn Dogs’, and it got me thinking about things.
When I read The Telling by Eden Winters (my first MM romance, by the way. If you haven’t read it, click the link and get a copy for free!) I was so moved by the story, that I wrote to Eden and told her how much I appreciated it.
Now, in my mind an author was akin to a rockstar. I couldn’t imagine they’d actually reply to the mail. (Actually, I thought she’d have an assistant who would send me out a canned reply and an autographed poster suitable for framing which, by the way, would be cool!). Instead, I got a very nice letter from her, which started my friendship with this sweet southern belle.
There were others I wrote to as well. K-Lee Klein (who said I was her first ever fan letter), Anne Tenino, Amy Lane, Silvia Violet, and more. Each of them was surprisingly nice, approachable, and super sweet. Then I find out that’s who they actually are in real life.
