The only time I've been really star struck was when I sat next to Tony Hillerman and babbled that I loved his books!<br />Sorry about the occasional popping in and out...

I was doing a story for our local online community magazine and was supposed to act like this professional reporter. Sure, I get to interview celebs all the time.

It was James Grady, who wrote Six Days of the Condor, the book that was turned into the movie Three Days of the Condor. (There's a writing joke there somenewhere.) But he was a writing idol, really, and one ofthe reasons I got into thrillers all those years ago. That book is a classic. (And he wrote it at age 23 or something.)<br /><br />And there he was! SO Cool. And charming, and interesting, and interested. And we have so much in common, it was almost too conncidental to be real.<br /><br />Sigh. I was so smitten.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.com
