There is nothing more satisfying to me than having a fellow author or a fan tell me they truly enjoyed one of my books.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing...Fran Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247024581813249889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-21451880426714188932014-10-01T02:01:16.244-04:002014-10-01T02:01:16.244-04:00Wonderful idea, Suzanne.

I asked her what her one piece of advice would be to a new writer like me who got stuck on the dreaded middle. Her advice was simple, and works! She said, Make it worse....jean hart stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287808234288499369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-64875767287882316382014-09-30T11:22:47.152-04:002014-09-30T11:22:47.152-04:00The readers group is a great idea! The first time ...The readers group is a great idea! The first time I ever met "real" authors was when I was starting to write. A friend and I went to a meeting of a local RWA chapter. These members were all published and they met during the day which left out those of us who worked. My friend and I took a day off to attend the meeting. We had stars in our eyes, real groupies, in the presence of "real" authors. One of the authors was Judy French, well-known historical romance author and her daughter, Colleen Faulkner, another well-known historical author. And there was Lois Nollet who wrote wonderful Regencies. My friend and I still talk about that wonderful day when we were in the presence of "greatness."Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-13885584316414323922014-09-30T10:24:46.028-04:002014-09-30T10:24:46.028-04:00Suzanne, your reader's group sounds like a gre...Suzanne, your reader's group sounds like a great idea. I've never done anything like that on line. I started a Writers Helping Writers group that meets once a month in my bookstore. That sprung from so many of my customers saying they write or wish they could. <br /><br />The closest I've come to meeting one of my favorite authors is when a friend of mine who lives in Boulder, Colorado, went to a reading and book signing with Robert Crais. My friend had his picture taken with Robert and had him autograph a copy of his latest book to me. The next best thing to being there!
