Currently in Fangirl Heaven. Be Back Soon.

For those of you that know me well, you know that my first book "You Never Know" was actually based on a few real-life, fangirl experiences. And you would also know that the muse for the male lead is...well, I'm not going to divulge his name here for several reasons, but mainly because if you don't know who I'm talking about, then you don't know me very well. And you should. Because I'm totally awesome. Kidding! (sort of)

Anyhoo...I've always thought it would be super-mega fabulous to have my muse sign my book. And I've actually had the privilege of meeting Mr. Muse a few times, but how could I ever present my book to him without him thinking I'm a total freak? In my experience, when you meet celebrities, you typically don't have a lot of time to chat, and I would need a minute or thirty to explain that kind of stalker-like craziness. You know I'm right.

So, I had reluctantly accepted the fact that the "real" Ethan Grant signing my book would most likely never happen...that is, until it did.

Now, if you're thinking I finally got the guts to do this on my own, think again. I'm still over here praying "real" Ethan never puts two-and-two together. The odds are slim, but the thought alone gives me debilitating panic attacks.

What actually happened is I mentioned my crazy wish to few of my friends and family, and this past weekend (unbeknownst to me) my lovely sister managed to get a copy of my book in front of the "real" Ethan Grant. She told him about it, and she said he seemed genuinely flattered. He signed it and even looked through it, saying he was "intrigued" which I think is probably code for "I'm filing a restraining order ASAP", but who cares, right? I sure don't because here I sit, with a signed copy of my book in my hands, and every time I look at it I feel like I'm about to explode with happiness. I realize this whole thing may seem silly to some of you, but I had to share this story because for me, this is an ULTIMATE fangirl fantasy come to life. And in case you haven't noticed, I take my fangirling seriously, folks.

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to erect a shrine, keep my precious artifact in a glass case like an Olympic gold medal or build a steel vault in my backyard. I'll keep you posted. But regardless, you can bet this will most definitely be something I will cherish for the rest of my days.

And to my beautiful, magnificent, wonderful, gorgeous (and any other positive adjective you can think of) sister, I know you know how much this means to me, and I can't thank you enough. I love you times infinity.

Still crying tears of joy,
Mel

Well it took me a while to comment on this..... I had to stop crying first. You really made my day!

It is hard for me to express into words how proud I am of you! I still can't believe you wrote a book! You are so smart and amazing! There are many people out there who agree with me, but I still don't think they realize the extent of your "Awesomeness!"

I am so glad I was able to get the "real" Ethan to sign your book. You know I am a big fan of his as well, so it was so awesome to share your book with him. I wanted to scream, "MY SISTER WROTE THIS BOOK!" "How Cool is that!" My only regret is that I can not let you see in my mind his expression when I showed him the book. It is a vision I will never forget! The look was very sweet, humbling and truly intriguing. I could tell he was impressed that someone smart enough to write a book would be his fan. He always seems to me that he is very humbled by all of his fans.

On another note, Thank you for letting me be a part of your "Fan Girl" world!! I have to tell you that I have so much fun with all the wonderful people we have met over these last few years. I am so grateful when we get a chance to be together, to act silly and to get to be "Fans" of some wonderful Actors. It has really been an awesome experience being a part of it all.

I Love you so much!
Your Sister and Your Biggest Fan!
