His story is so tragic. At least for him. He\u2019d lived his whole life for one moment, and it was taken from him in a freak car accident. I always felt so bad for Mark, and so I gave him Chelsea. She\u2019s fun and funny and not intimidated by a cranky hockey player.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nAre you a huge hockey fan?

I was on a treadmill at a gym when I looked up and saw him on one of the television screens. I was transfixed by his Cro-Magnon man features.  I fell in love with him and hockey. That was in 1994 and I wrote my first published hockey book, Simply Irresistible with his bobble head on my desk. It\u2019s still there. So yes, I am a huge fan.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nIn romance, I\u2019ve heard editors say that books about sports figures or actors don\u2019t do well.

What was it like hitting that list for the first time? Are you treated differently after you do (readers, publishing house, other authors)?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnonesize-full wp-image-2253\" title=\"Answer\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Answer.png?resize=90%2C28\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nThe first time I hit was awesome.  Avon sent me flowers and my agent sent me champagne. I toasted with my friends and  then . . .  I got back to work.  I\u2019m not sure readers treat me different. Either readers like my books or they don\u2019t depending on the story. There are a few more perks with the publisher, but probably not as many as you\u2019d expect.  And you do learn who your friends are. I know that sounds <em>clich\u00e9<\/em>, but it\u2019s very true.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">~~~<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><object style=\"width: 620px; height: 373px;\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"620\" height=\"373\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/z_iqSqy-F_Q&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~~~<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" title=\"Question\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Question1.png?resize=97%2C32\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"32\" \/><br \/>\nWho are some of your favourite authors?
