Haha yes that sounds perfect Steve!

Sharon knows how much I adore Darcy & Lizzy, but I must admit I am itching to read more much more from my fav author hehehe. All in good time, you cannot rush great things. Patience is a virtue. I just get excited wondering what else your future holds Sharon!

I’m so glad Steve captured this moment on DVD! You may cringe (just a little) only cause you’re a perfectionist hehe, you may laugh a little, but overall what a great way to learn. From what you’ve told us in your passage sounds like you had a blast and enjoyed every moment. With your passion for writing and your work it makes it easy to talk about. Congratulations once again dear friend!
Love always

Oh Vee! I wish you could have come too! But only because I am terribly selfish and want to see you! Someday, mate, someday. 🙂

I am going to get a DVD of the whole thing. Should be soon. I am anxious to watch it, even if it makes me cringe, as the entire night passed in a blur. Not sure if I will be able to make it accessible to view. I’ll try to figure something out.

You are very kind and a great friend. I hope I can continue to bring more of my writings to you and the rest. Time will tell, but I intend to keep on as best I can!

Steve

I think she should do fantasy,maybe a fantasy love story….for many many years thats what shes read,Tolkien at 12….

Sharon this is awesome! Thank you for sharing all the lovely pics and exciting moments with us. I certainly wish I could have cheered you on from a little bit closer than Oz. You were obviously in very good company though! You fit in perfectly with all the wonderful authors!

What an amazing moment amongst many. Your first speech! I hope your gorgeous hubby taped it! You were obvoulsy destined to be where you are right now Sharon and I congratulate you on the success and joy this brings you and your family!

Writing is so much fun, but to get the right blend of words and ideas together to form an amazingly captivating story is something not many can do, certainly not the way you have Sharon . Your talent was lying in wait for this time to be sure. I am so glad you followed your heart and dreams and created this brilliant Saga. But I can also imagine there will be many many variety of books to come from my fav author which I look forward to reading in the future!

I am thrilled you got to catch up with lots of great friends and fans! And had wonderful support from your author pals and of course the devotion and love from your gorgeous family. You all look handsome and beautiful respectively.
Wishing you loads more happiness and success dear friend.
Love always

Thanks for sharing Dominique’s story, honey. She is awesome and I am so honored to be a part of her team AND to know her personally! Surreal.

Kathy, I am still reeling over seeing you! It was the highlight of my day in Sac. Thanks for keeping me informed on the P&P happenings. What would I do without you and May?

Maggie, Hope you don’t mind me stealing your photo, but it was just too good. See you soon, promise.

Not sure about any other signings, but I will keep you all informed. And Susanne, if I EVER get to Europe I will let you know well in advance!

Steve

One question that came up that was great, a very nice High School teacher asked, about how you go about writing? Do you recommend classes? Sharon said although nothing wrong with learning the mechanics… but you have to write from your heart. Which is so true.

She also got to mention another interesting point that many may not know: the owner of Sourcebooks, Dominique Raccah, has the distinction of heading up the largest independently owned publishing house in the U.S. Its the largest female owned company in the U.S.

In 1987, a determined Dominique Raccah left a promising career with advertising giant Leo Burnett, cashed in $17,000 from her 401K plan and launched a publishing house from her upstairs bedroom in Naperville, Illinois. She called it Sourcebooks.

Over the years, Sourcebooks has grown and flourished by following its independent vision, and by publishing extraordinary authors and unique books with readers in mind. Noted for its strong publicity and marketing efforts on behalf of its authors and retailers, Sourcebooks stands today as one of the leading independent book publishers in North America.

Sharon,

I think that you better get used to being in the limelight !I’m predicting that this is only the beginning!! I wish I could have been at the Barnes and Noble signing, it looks like it was fun! What a fun surprise to see my picture on your website. You are such a sweetie!! Can’t wait to get together again when we can really chat!! Congratulations on all the success! Enjoy every minute, because you really deserve it!!!

Hi there Sharon!
