How cool that you have and have received replies! I suppose most famous people receive so much mail that they need someone to help keep up with responses, but even with a cookie cutter reply, I'd be happy. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-36212187053080400162016-06-09T11:49:27.487-05:002016-06-09T11:49:27.487-05:00300 Days of Sun sounds like a good read.

I'd probably pick it up for the setting alone. :-) <br /><br />I've never written a letter to an author, though I occasionally tweet them. *LOL* Sign of the times.

The trick is to keep me from getting bored. :-) It sounds like Lawrenson is able to do that. <br /><br />Gentleman Captain sounds interesting. Now that you mention it, I haven't read much about the transition involved in the Restoration either. I can see why it'd make for an interesting read. <br /><br />Yes! I've written letters to authors before. Do you mean by e-mail or snail mail, or both? I've done both. I once wrote a really long letter to author Don Pendleton who wrote an action series my dad and I both read. I was about 14 or 15 at the time, I think. He responded with a very nice long letter back. I think I have it somewhere. He was very encouraging, and the letter meant a lot to me. I also wrote a letter to Anne Perry once and received a nice card back. I've also e-mailed Anne Perry--and she e-mailed back. This was all before my blogging days. I've had quite a bit of interaction with authors via e-mail and Twitter since I began blogging. Them responding to a positive review I wrote or my reaching out to tell them how much I liked their book. It's much easier to do today than it once was, that's for sure!<br /><br />In terms of "celebrities", Mouse drew a picture for Cinderella, I think it was, and we mailed it. She received a postcard from her (well, probably someone with Disney, anyway) in reply. Mouse, of course, was very happy. :-) I wrote to Nancy Reagan when she was the First Lady and got an obvious cookie cutter back, but I was so proud.
