This question made me smile. A lot. Aliana asked…

What has been the best compliment [given to you as an author]?

I’ve been given lots of compliments as an author. And no, I don’t mean that as an attempt to say how awesome I am. I’m actually a pretty humble person. I think that’s why compliments mean so much to me.

So, you want examples?

Vicki said Love The Wine You’re With, which comes out tomorrow, is her favorite of all my books so far.

Many of you told me Round & Ravishing was worth the extra wait.

Even more of you have told me how much my Big & Beautiful series has meant to you.

I’d love to say I’m a USA Today Bestselling Author, but really, I didn’t get into this for accolades. I got into this because it was right for me. And knowing that what I write resonates with you is the best compliment I could ever get. I’ll be happy to not ever be a bestselling author if I know you love what I write. That’s what really matters to me!
