    My father was Elvis Presley’s commanding officer when he was in Basic. Too bad I was too young.

    I’ve never met any celebrities but when my mum was young, she met one of the most important actors from my country in the beach. She didn’t realize at first but when she did, she was so excited.

    TBH, I didn’t find this shot of him in the cover of Signs of Life particularly good. But now that I got to know him, I was like, “WOW! Isn’t that guy gorgeous? And has a heart of gold to boot. Lethal-to-my-sanity combo. LOL!”

    I like that he’s so game to answer every question you’ve thrown at him. He obviously likes his job & that I think is the most important thing about jobs, liking it until it doesn’t become a job anymore.

    Answering your question, well…my fave memory is when I went to an amusement park once together with my friends. It was in college & was my first time going to one. (My parents were so strict with me growing up, what with me being an only child.) Then, we tried this surf dance ride & damn if I wasn’t terrified yet exhilarated at the same time. The feeling was heady & knees-buckling all at once. My friends & I just laughed it all off until we’ve gotten our bearings enough to try another ride. That day was really unforgettable…really unforgettable. LOL!

    And yeah…now that I got the chance, I think I’ll have to tell you that Jeremy & Kai’s story is my favorite work of yours, tied with Unquiet & Pieces of Me. God, that 1st chapter killed me! I never cried so hard in my life! I was a quivering mess after reading that. Needless to say, it was a helluva novel. <3

    My only brush with celebrity was one time when I was flying out of Vegas, Jerry Lewis was getting on the plane ahead of me & my best friend. Of course he was in first class & we were not but while we were getting on the plane, we were close enough to touch him.

    I am lucky enough to get to go to the Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe each summer and I always come home with great stories but my favorite is from the year my fiance proposed. Earlier in the week he played golf with Alfonso Ribero (he played Carlton on Fresh Prince) and they got along great, I got to meet him and he was so nice! On that Friday night, my fiance proposed t me as we were walking along the beach, it was amazing! Sunday afternoon while waiting for the tournament to end, we were standing on the 18th and there was s lull in play, it was quiet and Alfonso sees me and my fiance standing there. He yells across this little pond “Hey she said YES – congrats man but you go get engaged and my golf game turns to SHIT.” Everyone turns to look at us and we are just laughing and then I realize I’m standing next to Michael Phelps, and he just nods and smiles at me and says ‘congratulations.’ It was so surreal and fun and then I realized that Alfonso Ribero knew about the proposal even before I did! Still one of my favorite memories!

    I saw P!nk is a café in London years and years before she became too famous. I love her so I kick myself now that I didn’t go and ask for an autograph!

    Bill Russell at the Colorado Springs airport… Since he was surrounded by one of the college teams it was quite an experience! At 5’1” I’d always felt short…but that really must have been a photo opportunity for someone!
