She has all her books. Small world... <br /><br />For quotes, I think I need mystery authors with boy appeal, so I'd hate to waste her time.

And I'll be adding RILEY MACK AND THE OTHER KNOWN TROUBLEMAKERS to my list (can't wait). <br /><br />Patti: I think it's because authors with a recognizable name get so many requests, a personal connection works best. Publishers still try, but probably have as much success as I do with my beer bribery :-) <br />I imagine Megan gets her share of quote requests now...YA Sleuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371132883359264412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467906296798575973.post-69414464183540803422012-03-08T16:30:48.703-06:002012-03-08T16:30:48.703-06:00If you want me to ask her, I will.If you want me to ask her, I will.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467906296798575973.post-41355099687687924082012-03-08T16:28:03.578-06:002012-03-08T16:28:03.578-06:00Know what you mean.

How can a new writer be expected to know anyone. But how about Barrie Summy. She is as nice as can be.
