How I met Rachel Van Dyken ... and why she probably regrets it

Just look at that gal, would ya? Cute....Sassy...Sexy. Rachel Van Dyken is EXACTLY what I see myself like when I close my eyes at night. She is a rocking author with a monster backlist that readers just can't get enough of...and what author in their right mind doesn't want that?

While I have known Rachel for over a year now, we FINALLY got the chance to meet at RT in Kansas City this year. SCORE! Talk about a fan girl moment. Then it hit me...I was meeting Rachel. Not only that but she was going to SEE me. ME! In all my redneck glory. OY *head desk*

For those of you who don't know me you just cannot understand my terror...and for those who do...well, you know it's justified :) I am a walking, talking, bonified stereotypical hick from the sticks. 

Fortunately Rachel saw beyond that, or she is a GREAT actress :) We had some laughs and my mind was calmed that I MIGHT not be so bad after all :)

Of course them I saw pictures of myself at RT and was promptly reminded of who I really am :)
Oh the difference a good picture can make :) Of course it helps when you are as pretty as Rachel to start with :)

Any-who....All of us who know RVD are SUPER thrilled for her move to the big time :) And that is why we are tossing streamers and throwing a party for her WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!

So Be sure you check out her newest titles that have made such a splash with the big wigs and hob knobers in NYC. (sorry I don't have the images or links....my blog is giving me fits) AND stop by the other destinations in this tour to see what others have to say about the super fab Rachel Van Dyken :)
