CONFESSIONS OF AN AUTHOR CRUSH...
Dear Cassandra Clare,
You probably haven’t read my recent interviews (okay, let’s be honest, I’m sure you’ve never read any of my interviews) but if you had, you’d know that you should probably be considering some sort of internet restraining order against me.
Seriously.
I was late to discover Jace…er, I mean, City of Bones. It was my oldest daughter, who said: “Read it, you’ll love it”. But what she didn’t realize, apparently, was how much I’d love it…or the author crush that would ensue. (In case it’s not clear, I’m talking about you, Ms. Clare.)
So when you post things like this you must know you're only encouraging me.
Don’t get me wrong, I lovelovelove the recommendation! Just be prepared for tears if I ever meet you in person.
Stalker(ish)ly yours,
Kimberly Derting
(And if you don't know what I'm talking about: CASSANDRA CLARE NAMED THE BODY FINDER AS ONE OF HER TOP 12 PICKS!!!!!!)
(I KNOW, RIGHT???????)

Can't wait for Desires of the Dead. I love Jay too.
Seriously though, I feel very Cassie Clare stalkerish too (I am always debating whether or not to get a rune tattoo and I even went so far as to make some dolls of the characters http://averysbooknook.blogspot.com/2011/01/presenting-jace-wayland-from-mortal.html)!
And I will have you know that in my books Jay is just as amazing as Jace is in the way of male characters. So yeah, you totally deserve the recommendations (and if I could get a tattoo based off of your series I would- hmmmm... How would one convey an echo on their skin?)!
;)
Avery - I caught my youngest daughter playing "Clary and Jace" with her troll dolls one day (we were listening to the audio version of City of Ashes at the time). But, OMG, I LOVE your "censored" doll!
Oh Jace and Jay how I love you so! I thought you met her at Smart Chicks?
I might draw the line at an open mouthed kiss...lol that is wayyy too funny.
I reall do love Cassandra Clare as well, congrats to you for that recommendation!
Marsha - I did specify "no tongue". I mean, I don't want to freak her out or anything. ;)
MM - I'm so glad you liked it!
Frankie - RIGHT????
Heather - For Realz!
I'm super excited for Desires of the Dead. I keep checking my mailbox for an ARC ;)
