Anne McCaffrey! *gibbers like a fangirl*

Never the twain shall meet, I imagine, but a gal can dream.

That is way super duper cool, Jeaniene!
I'm not even a writer, but I could pretend I am and then maybe dream of seeing a picture of my book under Stephenie Meyer or J.K. Rowling. LOL I guess in my dreams, I'm probably a YA author, huh? ;)

Aw Jeaniene I am squeeing for you!!! You deserve it!!
Stephen King is my idol. If I ever met him, I would faint.
Better watch out when I meet you because will faint also. :D

Patricia McKillip

ADORE her work!

That is so cool, and you deserve every single one of those sales too.

For me it's Jim Butcher.

I'd have to say Jeannine Frost! :)

EEEE! Congratulations! :D

mercy, that's hard. probably Neil Gaiman. he's been my favourite writer foreeeeever. i'd have said Anne Rice, but i've been done with her for ages now.

congrats! <3

Peter Beagle, my favorite author across time, space, and dimension.

Catherine

gabriel garcia marquez. pure magic.

Congratulations!

For me, even though I write YA (so JKR, of course) - but, P.D. James - yeah!

If I was a writer I'd have to say I'd squee about being under JR Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kelley Armstrong, and OF COURSE Jeaniene Frost!


Congratulations, I told you not to worry and that Bones would pull thru for you! Trust in the greatness that is Bones (and Cat, too). <3

Congrats!

Stephen King. Yeah, if I was listed under him, it would be enlarged, framed, and put behind bullet proof glass. =)

Ursula K. Le Guin or Elizabeth Moon. If I had to choose, Le Guin because I owe so much to her Earthsea it isn't even silly.

And that is utterly awesome news!

Big Hug Congrats! Very worthy of fan girl hysteria. For me it would be Suzanne Brockmann.

Jean M. Auel

I've been reading her books for over a decade, and am chomping at the bit for book 6 while salivating at the rumors of a 7th. Speaking of... I need to go look a few things up....

*heads off to fandom searches*

Kim Harrison, Rachel Caine or Charlaine Harris. I would squee like a twelve year old!

Congratulations Jeaniene! For me, it would definitely be JK Rowling. Her Harry Potter books have done so much for me, and given me so many friends and opened my eyes to so much, that it would be such an honor. She is definitely my living literary idol.

I remember a Koontz book called "Lightning" about time travelling Nazis. It had a lot of plot holes, but it sure was a fun ride. Sometimes I think I need to turn around my current reading habits and go back to learn how to build rollercoasters from him :)

Well, right now I'm pretty much amazed by Cormac McCarthy. I don't think I've ever been as amazed by a a single writer. If there were a way to study writing under him in person, I would do it (right now I content myself by tearing his writing apart line by line.) I guess he would be my choice for that picture you mention.

Congratulations on the best seller list, btw. I knew something was up. I was in B&N last night and your book was displayed prominently on the end caps, and I was like -- "Go, Frost, go!" :)

Hey you put a lot of hard work into those books! You definitely deserve it!

It's hard for me to choose just one. I'm staring at my book shelf now, trying to pick just one..give me a sec....(insert Jeopardy theme song here)....Okay, it's probably going to have to be Laurell K. Hamilton. Guilty Pleasures was the first ever Urban Fantasy book I picked up. Though I've read my entire life, UF is my obsession and it's all her fault! LOL

When I was a kid, I'd walk through the bookstores and fantasize about gazing on a shelf and seeing my name near Julian May's. (My husband argues that I was so difficult about changing my name because I never stopped wanting that.)

Now, I think if my mame were ever in print anywhere near Charles de Lint or Neil Gaiman I'd have to be rushed to the hospital. :-)

For me it would be Neil Gaiman...but it'd be damn cool to be under Dean Koontz or you or Melissa for that matter!

I am still considering your question (it's a tough one, as there are a lot of authors I admire!), but I wanted to drop you a line and let you know I saw One Foot at Wal-Mart today and snapped a picture. :) It is on my blog. Whoo!

Why am I not surprised... :P

Just had to comment. First, my name is Jean. Second, THAT'S MY HARLEY on the cover!!! I ride an '03 Dyna Low Rider, with anniversary paint and the anniversary saddlebags! I can tell you about a few subtle differences in the front end and the seat, but that's my Ghwyenn on there!!!

Sorry to admit that I haven't read the novel yet, I'm saving it for vacation next week. But the Harley on the cover made me snatch it off the shelves.

Did you know that the passenger backrest style is called a tombstone? And that the jiffy stand is on the wrong side of the motorcycle? H-D puts them on the left. Dyna Low Riders don't do off-road well at all. I scrape going over a speed bump in a parking lot, Ghwyenn is so low, and I probably weigh less than Cat does... Why she took her H-D off the pavement is going to take some serious explaining.
