I found your blog today, not knowing it ...Wendelin,<br />I found your blog today, not knowing it ever existed, and was so excited. First off, you have become a "Writing Idol" to me over the past couple years with your Sammy Keyes series, which I love, at 28 yrs. old, and have thoroughly enjoyed every other book I could get my hands on that you have written. You wouldn't believe the way I freaked out when I was reading "Runaway" and realized that it was Holly from Sammy Keyes. I was literally jumping in my seat screaming, "THIS WOMAN IS A GENIUS!" I also enjoyed reading how you researched for that book, which I though was hilarious. I don't think I could ever sneak into the baggage compartment, I'd be terrified.<br />Alright, enough of the praise. I loved this post, it was so funny, and I have to agree that you do sound like a real-life Sammy like Tim posted. I can't wait to read more post from you and I hope to be able to ask you, someday, how you published your first book and the amount of time it took. I am working on a young adult mystery myself and hope to be published someday, but it is hard to really write with two very young kids.<br />I will be looking foward to reading more posts and books from you in the future. Keep up the amazing work.<br />-AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177031527572496831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-60567932324173938132011-01-18T06:09:36.511-08:002011-01-18T06:09:36.511-08:00That's insane, but it sounds like you handled ...That's insane, but it sounds like you handled it well.

You seem to get in all kinds of situations that Sammy would be in, and I bet thats why the books are so good. Your sorta like a real life Sammy Keyes . Have fun in Seattle!!!!<br /> -Tim/Ginngle11ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394206748094566390noreply@blogger.com
