I’m a fan of Jamie Sobrato’s blog. Actually, I’m a fan of Jamie Sobrato. My only complaint is that she does not blog often enough. Kids, husband, full-time writing career - yeah, whatever. A girl could get carpel tunnel syndrome clicking on Jamie’s website link 40 or 50 times a day to see what she has to say.

In case you haven’t been reading - and, shame on you - she’s been talking about her publication road. She was a Golden Heart finalist (twice, I think). Got The Call. Is a Blaze author. Was nominated for the RITA first time out. And she’s cute…all very annoying if she weren’t so charming.

This sounded a bit too familiar for comfort:

My point with all this is that I’ve never met an author who feels completely satisfied with his or her literary lot in life. There is always the drive to achieve more (if we weren’t so driven we would never get published in the first place–it takes both delusions of grandure AND a huge drive to succeed to make it past all that rejection), and with each success comes additional pressure.

Also had to laugh at her thoughts on her new cover. Looks as if Alison doesn’t love it either.
