Sharing a Shelf with Mr. John Grisham!

So a friend of mine, Kelly Jameson, was trolling through the Doylestown Bookshop the other day.

Hey wait a second---here's Jennifer now, stopping in to say hello and to talk about the people who touch our lives:

I’ve met a number of people on my journey as an author. Authors,
bloggers, readers, librarians . . . it’s a long list, especially when I
start counting the characters in my books because, as funny as it
sounds, those characters have made a huge impact on my life. Some are
sweet and tender. Some are less than desirable. They mimic life -- have
personalities, quirks, problems, and are sometimes more human than the
people I know in reality. I’ve shaped them and molded them and given
them dimension. I can control who they meet, who they love, lose, speak
to . . . I just never expected how much they would shape me.

And while I can’t always control my own existence, I’m pretty darn lucky
to cross paths with some remarkable people – my publishers, my agent, my
Playlist Fiction sisters, my author friends. We come together like
pieces in a puzzle. We cross paths and connect (and yes, I’m shouting
out to Melissa here on her blog! I had the pleasure of meeting her at
YAFest 2012 and hope to see her again!)

We meet people for reasons unbeknownst to us, sometimes for a fleeting
moment, for a day, or for a year or two. They can be real. They can be
fictitious, but one thing is certain – real or not, that impact can last
a lifetime.

Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer! Always a pleasure and best of luck to you!
Cheers!
