I sent fan mail

Recently overwhelmed with excitement for Margaret George's new novel Elizabeth I, I emailed her a thank you for her wonderful books – especially The Autobiography of Henry VIII which inspired me as I began to write The King's Rose.

Well, wouldn't you know, SHE WROTE BACK. There are no words to describe how happy this makes me! Seriously, I still can't quite believe it. And her note was so so lovely. Sigh.

So that's my story today. I have upcoming posts about story vs. voice coming your way, soon. You know, stuff about actually writing. But today I needed to share my excitement.
