I joined the queue with 30 minutes to spare. An hour after the book signing was supposedly over, Sherrie was still there, still standing, still smiling, still hugging, still chatting, still signing. <BR/><BR/>As I watched her while I waited, my respect and admiration grew and grew. Sherrie was the embodiment of the ideal author-reader relationship. The respect, affection, and interest that she showed her readers made me realize that not only was Sherrie a great writer, but she was a genuinely caring person. <BR/><BR/>The combination of her selflessness and talent made a fan out of me--and I hadn't read a single book of hers until then. <BR/><BR/>A year later, her entire KMG backlist is mine.Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-17455169979861030272008-07-03T10:55:00.000-04:002008-07-03T10:55:00.000-04:00I'm sooooo late, but what a wonderful interview, C...I'm sooooo late, but what a wonderful interview, Cassondra and Sherrilyn!!

How can that be??<BR/><BR/>The reason the doughnuts come up is because my mom (the SKINNIEST WOMAN ON THE planet) would make me go get her a dozen at midnight. Then eat them all and not share. Tell me there's no justice in this world. Those and midnight Krystal burger runs. What kind of metabolism did that woman have?<BR/><BR/>Buffie, we JUST missed each other, but you did go to school with my little bro. If you remember the teeny tiny house on the hill with the boarded up windows held in place with duct tape (and blue tarp) and tons of old rusted out cars around it, that was mine :D Only back then, I used to get off the bus a mile away and walk home so that no one would know I lived there. Our driveway was right across from the first set of speed bumps if you were heading toward Walker Rd.<BR/><BR/>Now singing it's a small world after all :)<BR/><BR/>Marie, you were so cute as Artie!! Are you going to make the launch party? <BR/><BR/>Yahh!! Jennifer :) My dorm room used to look out on the 50 yard line at the UGA stadium.<BR/><BR/>Cassondra, they're always there messing with me. It's why I have an over the head headset so that when I talk back, people around me think I'm on the phone :) They are scarily real to me.<BR/><BR/>BTW thanks so much for inviting me over- you guys have been great and I really appreciate being able to come play :)<BR/><BR/>Oh wait someone asked me about M&M, I can't make it this year because of the insanity of my schedule, but I will definitely be there in 09 and I'll be there for DragonCon :) My fave event of the year :)<BR/><BR/>Hugs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583242245779648586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-71573609800336666012008-07-02T23:00:00.000-04:002008-07-02T23:00:00.000-04:00Lady Kate said:You mean some people don't? *g*Ha! ...Lady Kate said:<BR/><BR/><I>You mean some people don't? *g*</I><BR/><BR/>Ha!

Don't know what I'd do!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Are you afraid of the dark? <BR/><BR/>Oh no, some of my favorite things come out at night.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Do you believe in angels, demons, and their ilk?<BR/><BR/>To some extent.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Have you ever slept with the light on?<BR/><BR/>Yup, for about a week after reading Stephen King's IT.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Do you have a favorite Sherrilyn Kenyon story? Does one of her Dark Hunters haunt your dreams? <BR/><BR/>Well I was the only Artie at the first K-Con in a room full of Sim's. I had applied a vampire bite tattoo on my neck and when a Simi would hiss at me I would ask them "have you seen Ash" when they said no I brushed my red wig aside exposing the bite marks and said "well, I have". I'll tell you, I only had one person hiss at me twice and she doesn't count, because my sister always hisses at me!<BR/><BR/>I've dreamed about Talon ever since reading his book. He's my kind of Celt! I worship the Goddess Caffeina also! She comes in many forms but I too prefer her with Chickory.<BR/><BR/>Do you keep the lights on after reading her books? Or do you sleep better believing the Dark Hunters are stalking the night in your defense?<BR/><BR/>Can't dream about those hot Dark Hunters with the lights on! They're always close by protecting us humans.VoodooGoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925573050622279719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-61624827082497493452008-07-02T22:24:00.000-04:002008-07-02T22:24:00.000-04:00Oh, and Sherri, I won't hold the UGA thing against...<I>Oh, and Sherri, I won't hold the UGA thing against you :) We have to go with GA Tech at my house since my nephew is there now</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, um...our household is full of UGA Bulldog fans all the way!<BR/><BR/>Oh, yeah, the UGA and GT rivalry can get downright scary.<BR/><BR/><I>Hi Jennifer – thanks for the note and St. Mountain, huh?

Great Event.<BR/>Hi Buffie – LOL – how fun to find out you’re in the Southern Arc<BR/>Hi Trish – Can’t wait until September for your first book – A FIREFIGHTER IN THE FAMILY!!<BR/>Cassondra – I’m with you when it comes to raising a kid being scarier than anything I’ve ever faced! I would watch my nieces when they were babies and spend half the time just staring at them, wondering what I was supposed to do next. Thankfully, my SIL would write out a schedule in practically fifteen minute increments. And, no, she’s not anal – she KNEW I’d be in a panic without a constant reference guide. “g” [ps – thanks for the sweet note about the “list”]<BR/>Hi Pat – Thank goodness we have guardian angels! You have to try a Dark-Hunter, but they do come with Cassondra’s warning about not being able to read just one. <BR/>Hi Jennifer – thanks for the note and St. Mountain, huh? My first house in the Atlanta area was in St. Mountain. <BR/><BR/>Hi Nancy – Thanks for the note on Phantom and the nice plug on our Break Into Fiction program. I’m soooo glad that is helpful. That was the whole reason Mary and I started that. And THANKS for telling me about Beth’s book. How did I miss knowing about that? <BR/>Beth – Congrats on NOT WITHOUT HER FAMILY hitting the shelves!! [note to self – pick up tomorrow]<BR/>Hi Susan – Yep, once you get started on those hot Dark-Hunters, they’re hard to put down. <BR/><BR/>Hi Donna – I feel your pain on the connectivity. Sometimes I just get booted and booted. <BR/><BR/>Hi Minna – How true about some types of people being scarier than vampires.<BR/>Suzanne – Yay, we’ll see you in Texas for Buns & Roses. <BR/>Helen – Well, if we won’t see you until February – we’ll just have to celebrate all your good news then, especially the new book. Can’t wait. <BR/><BR/>Hi Natalie – Good point about the free read. That’s always a good thing.<BR/>Hi Jo – I think I’m going to close out with a hello and goodbye here. So good to visit some today. <BR/>Cassondra – Thanks again for the amazing job you always do on these interviews. <BR/>Take care everyone, DiannaDianna Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436951352975780985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-28419456062727988892008-07-02T21:42:00.000-04:002008-07-02T21:42:00.000-04:00Sherri, here are some questions I've wondered abou...Sherri, here are some questions I've wondered about if you get a chance to consider them:<BR/><BR/>Christine asked a little earlier about how your characters tell you their stories...she says she feels like hers live in a parallel world.
