Who could resist a title like that?<br /><br />First novel was The Spy in the Alley, about a kid sleuth. I had to keep blinking to make sure it was really there, in front of me. <br /><br />Fun to remember -- thanks,<br /><br />MelanieMelanie Jackson, author, editor, piano studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028093429254617215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-41604241637448240382012-04-01T17:46:50.458-04:002012-04-01T17:46:50.458-04:00Eileen,

I hope you enjoy it.<br />I have a signed copy of "The Water is Wide" by Pat Conroy which a good friend (who was living in North Carolina at the time) bought for me at one of his signings. From what I understand, he's a great guy and, obviously, he has a wonderful sense of humor.Patricia Gligor's Writers Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801554698484928100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-63754401360766825042012-04-01T17:42:15.740-04:002012-04-01T17:42:15.740-04:00When my publisher handed me my book, I felt like c...When my publisher handed me my book, I felt like crying - tears of joy - but I was afraid I'd freak the man out!Patricia Gligor's Writers Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801554698484928100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-30195892878300475962012-04-01T16:50:10.647-04:002012-04-01T16:50:10.647-04:00I'm so happy for you, Patricia.

It's also cool when our heroes turn out to be nice people. I met Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides, Great Santini) at a signing and told him thanks to his military academy novel, Lords of Discipline, the upperclass who had read it used it as a template for abusing the freshmen, and that he owed me a set of pushups as payback. He laughed like hell and made me tell his wife.Bill Schweigarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243340392482262227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-46640966214279420962012-04-01T14:26:22.089-04:002012-04-01T14:26:22.089-04:00Patricia, No matter how many books you write, each...Patricia, No matter how many books you write, each one will give you the same feeling the first time you hold it in your hands. Well, almost. First book, first one out of the box, made me cry. My husband still has to peel me off the ceiling when I hold the first copy of a new book, but I don't cry anymore.
