James Patterson Is Just So Into Me

 

You may remember earlier this year when James Patterson’s people contacted me to ask if they could use my sentence — MY sentence! — in marketing Patterson’s upcoming titles. Um… let me think about it… yeah!

And see that, down there, that’s my blurb! For James Patterson. In a new copy of The Dangerous Days of Daniel X.

They said they’d attribute my ass-kickin’ sentence to L. Davidson, but as you can clearly see , After the Bubbly got the credit. But we all know who writes this blog, right? Consider yourself sprinkled with fame dust. And literary greatness.

By the way, when I mentioned to the kind intern that Mr. Patterson might want to write a blurb for one of my books someday, she was curiously silent.

    Very, very cool.

    And don’t worry about the brush-off. We all know that ‘L. Davidson’ is likely to have her own intern some day; the blurb-writers will come a-runnin’.

    That’s awesome! I would be over the moon to get mentioned in one of his books :-)

    I will TOTALLY write a blurb for you if you need one. It will start with “James Patterson’s writing is the gunk I scraped out from under my fridge after that smell finally killed the cat and then I had to call a hazmat team and the FBI and that guy from ‘Dirty Jobs’ and no one would even touch it that’s how disgusting it was compared to Lela’s book.”

    You’re welcome.

  5. Thanks, ladies! Now let’s just see if I can score some tickets to the big event when he comes to town next month!
