I think my first was Phyllis A. Whitney, and I read all of her books. I went on to Victoria Holt next.<BR/><BR/>2. Top 5 books would be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I read them all but the last one was the best! Vicky Lewis Thompson Nerd books, Shana Abe' The Smoke Thief, The Dream Thief, Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum series, Stevi Mittman, Whose Number is up, Anyway? series, and your books Jacquie! <BR/><BR/>3. All my favorite authors! J.K.Rowling would be very interesting to meet! <BR/><BR/>Great post Jacquie!<BR/>Micheledesenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15827059770508809460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-249131373769452292007-11-05T06:42:00.000-05:002007-11-05T06:42:00.000-05:00Hey Jacquie, thanx for sharing. I absolutely loved "Sleepless at Midnight" btw.<BR/><BR/>1. I'm pretty sure it was "Burning Obsession" by Carole Mortimer when I was around 12.<BR/><BR/>2. Gosh, tough question because it's always changing! I love C.L. Wilson's new fantasy series, and my fave authors of all time are Judith McNaught, Suzanne Brockmann and Lisa Kleypas. Anything by them would be in the top 5 at any given moment.<BR/><BR/>3. Either one of my favorite authors, Josh Bernstein (ex-host of Digging for the Truth), Angelina Jolie (because of all the amazing charity work she does) or Oprah.Stacy~http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-60958075927150680572007-11-05T01:50:00.000-05:002007-11-05T01:50:00.000-05:00Hi Jacquie, thanks for a great post. It's really neat to get insights on/updates from fav authors through this whole blog stuff! And am definitely looking forward to your next... will it be about Carolyn? As for my answers to your questions:<BR/>1) I think it was either Ballad In Blue by Linda Shaw(?) or a Janet Dailey (both of which I borrowed from my older sister) and that started me down a reading road that's been lots of fun!<BR/>2) I have too many favs but here's five that I can think of off the top-of-my-head/recent fave re-reads: Driven by Eve Kenin, True Betrayals by Nora Roberts, Sleepless at Midnight by Jacquie D, Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman (YA), Passion by Lisa Valdez<BR/>3) Any of my grandparents. They all passed away when I was quite young. Would love to meet them and get more clues on how my parents grew to be who they are.<BR/>Have a great week everyone!Allisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02780374618624268722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-38156737306469909412007-11-02T20:32:00.000-04:002007-11-02T20:32:00.000-04:00Hey Andrea and Helen! Thanks so much for stopping by! Loved your answers, and I'm honored to be among your top 5!! And very glad you're looking forward to the next Mayhem in Mayfair book. I'll be posting the cover, first chapter and an excerpt for Confessions at Midnight very soon. Here are my answers: <BR/><BR/>1) I actually don't recall the title of the first romance I ever read, but it was a Harlequin romance by Violet Winspear. And I was hooked. I recall the basic plot but not the title--argh!<BR/><BR/>2) My top 5 fave books (in no particular order): The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy (although this is my all-time favorite book), The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Rising Tides by Nora Roberts, Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught. <BR/><BR/>3) For this question I'm so torn! I'd love to have dinner with Princess Diana, but also with any of my grandparents, all of whom died before I was born. If I had to choose just one, I'd have to go with my maternal grandfather. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again gals for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>xox JacquieFresh Fictionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07547748173508227265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-39770956161900804382007-11-02T17:20:00.000-04:002007-11-02T17:20:00.000-04:00Love the post Jacquie<BR/>1.
