Holy Cow! I’m Quoted in the NY Post!

I spoke to a reporter last week who was doing a story on Nora Roberts and she actually quoted me! Okay, I sound a little stupid, but hell, I don’t mind – I’m actually quoted! How cool is that?

Here’s a snip: 

NORA ROBERTS HAS WRITTEN 170 NOVELS OF ROMANCE AND MORE

Even the most prolific author in America gets writer’s block.“I have days when I think, “everything I’m writing today just sucks,’ ” admits Nora Roberts, the undisputed queen of romance writers. “But it’s okay, because I’m keeping up the habit, so I can fix that suckitude.”

Despite having scored a staggering 155 New York Times bestsellers – including 38 that have debuted at the top spot – Roberts still works hard to keep her fans happy. “I think it’s good to be a little paranoid and neurotic. I use that,” she said one recent morning, speaking from her home in rural western Maryland, which she shares with her husband of 23 years, Bruce Wilder.

Since publishing her first novel, “Irish Thoroughbred” in 1981, Roberts, 58, has written more than 170 books, attracting the adoration of fans and the awe of other writers. “We all want to be her when we grow up,” says author Bianca D’Arc of Garden City, Long Island.

There’s a lot more to the article, but that’s the part that quotes me. Here’s a link to the rest of the story, if you’re interested.
