Meet Drienie Hattingh, a fun reader from South Africa, now living in Utah, whom I met at my Borders signing in Salt Lake City during my Twenty Wishes tour.
We're holding sweaters she knit for the GUIDEPOSTS KNIT FOR KIDS program. (Hi to her knitting circle, The Knitwits!) Drienie is a member of The Eden (Utah) Writers Circle, and I love that she sent her mom, Ralie Naude, who lives in South Africa, a copy of Twenty Wishes. Thank you, Drienie! |

Meeting Cynthia Reed at the Borders signing in Scottsdale, AZ in June was a real "kick." Those are red boots Cindy is wearing, in honor of Anne Marie Roche's wish list in Twenty Wishes. I now refer to her fondly as "Red Boot Cindy."

Meet Wendy J. Arnold, who has been reading my books since I wrote my first Shirley, Goodness and Mercy story.
After I met Wendy at a signing in Las Vegas in 2006, I joined her Red Hat chapter for a brunch, and I was excited to see her again when I signed at Sam's Club in Las Vegas during my Twenty Wishes tour. |

Thanks to Stacy Kaplan-Watiez, pictured second from right here, who was visiting her husband's family in France while I was in Paris, we got to take a private tour of the home of Drappier Champagne, which was established in the twelfth century by St. Bernard.
Who's we? Pictured left to right, Michel Drappier, whose family has owned the company since 1803; me, of course; Nancy Berland, my personal publicist; Katherine Orr, Vice President, Public Relations, Harlequin Enterprises; Samuel Thomas, who gave us the tour; Stacy, Principal, and Leslee Borger, Senior Vice President, Truth Be Told, the firm Harlequin hires to organize and publicize my book tours, among other things. Thierry Besancon, a photographer, as well as a multi-lingual guide, took this photo. |

On my way back from appearances in Dublin and London this spring, I popped over to Paris for a few days and had a delightful lunch at a charming restaurant with members of my publishing team there.
That's Clotilde Meyer, Deputy Editorial Director, Harlequin France, on the left, and Catherine Cussigh, Managing Director, on the right. I now know why French women don't gain weight—they don't eat dessert! |

I'm sure most, if not all of you have heard Delilah on the radio. Guess what? Delilah Renee—that’s her full name—lives a stone’s throw from me, and we’ve become good friends this past year. Here we are in her recording studio.

In November 2007 I was honored to visit Mrs. Ruth Stafford Peale, the widow of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, in her home in New York. What a lovely, gracious lady! It was only a couple of months later that Mrs. Peale passed away. She and her husband blessed my life in ways I cannot begin to convey.
