I saw Dr. Zhivago as an impressionable 13-year-old and spent then next I0 years reading Russian history. My mother thought I named our son Nicholas after the czar--which shows how little she knew of Russian history!<br /><br />And "Gone with the Wind," of course, is a cultural icon. I can hear the lilt of the music even as I type! (Of course it's really windy in northern California this morning).<br /><br />Yes, Cynthia spilled the beans at ACFW about the NYTimes, and I didn't believe her. Becky Germany, our editor, set me straight and it was so much FUN to be at the conference with some of my co-writers and just squeal together. <br /><br />May it happen to all of you!<br /><br />Blessings!Michelle Ulehttp://michelleule.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-81811929560867676702011-12-01T09:13:40.321-05:002011-12-01T09:13:40.321-05:00Loree: I haven't listened to the Glory soundtr...Loree: I haven't listened to the Glory soundtrack--thanks for the tip!<br /><br />Kristi: Me too!

Let's see...my first e...Great interview, Jill!<br /><br />Let's see...my first encounter with Michelle..was when I met her at our Books and Such get-together at the ACFW conference. First faux pas was when I called her "Mary" in my star-struck fog. (Blessedly, she giggled as she gently corrected me. Of course I knew her name, but "Mary" was what tumbled off my tongue.) Second faux pas: when I congratulated her (in an elevator also at ACFW) on being a #1 bestseller and she hadn't even heard the fantastic news yet! Talk about dopey, crawl-in-the-hole kinds of moments. :)<br /><br />Anyway, Michelle, you rock! (Oh, and did you catch Gone With the Wind when it ran on T.V. for almost 100 times over Thanksgiving?)Cynthia Herronhttp://www.authorcynthiaherron.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-23874506307473745442011-11-30T13:40:18.695-05:002011-11-30T13:40:18.695-05:00The Log Cabin Christmas Collection sounds fab - I&...The Log Cabin Christmas Collection sounds fab - I'm a sucker for short, holiday-themed historicals...running off to find it now. :)Kristina Knighthttp://www.kristinaknightauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-5463753913183888612011-11-30T12:18:41.134-05:002011-11-30T12:18:41.134-05:00Great interview, ladies.

I can't wait to sip coffee in front of twinkling lights--picture me with you this morning, okay? :)<br /><br />Jessica B: Mmm, quiche. Let's make it a writer's brunch!<br /><br />E Louise: How cool! The only Russian names I know are Irena or Anya? They sound pretty!<br /><br />Jessica N: I'm with you on the quiche, but the salmon? You can have my portion! :)<br /><br />Talli: Well, it looks as if we're all in favor of heading to Russia. Meet you there!<br /><br />Wendy: I'm sorry about your dog. They are family members--it's hard when they get older. And I need to drink more water too. Somehow, my coffee probably doesn't count!<br /><br />Keli: Jealous!

I loved being able to congratulate her face-to-face the very day she learned that <i>A Log Cabin Christmas Collection</i>, in which her debut novella is featured, made the NYT Bestseller list. Talk about a great way to launch a career!<br /><br />I'm hungry for quiche now. =)Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-37080666941530307972011-11-30T08:55:26.750-05:002011-11-30T08:55:26.750-05:00So much to say on this one (another great intervie...So much to say on this one (another great interview).
