Before I was a writer, I was a reader...heck, I still am a reader. And as such, I've read James Patterson! (Seriously, you'd have to live under a rock not to have read a James Patterson book!) I'll confess, I loved when he showed up on Castle (one of my favorite and much-missed shows). So please imagine my surprise when I found out that James Patterson and I had a relationship...of sorts.
It started with his book, Burn. He named a character Holly Jacobs. Awww. I was thrilled. Okay, so I'm not sure he's read Holly Jacobs, but let's pretend he has! LOL
So I named a character James Patterson in These Three Words. I just want to be clear, my James isn't the James...my James is a completely fictional character. And I'll confess, I utterly fell in love with my James who was waiting for his Anne. His love was palpable and the scene always brought me to tears as I wrote it, and it has every time I've reread it.
But back to the James, not my James.... You see, after all our book flirting, James and I started hanging out on bestseller lists occasionally...
Yeah, I know. How cool is that??

Next thing you know, he'll say, "Call me Jim" and we'll be hanging out together like he did with Castle. We'll play poker (okay, so I don't play poker...maybe rummy??), drinking and talking about books. Until then, we'll always have Turkey, Jim!
