Just before leaving for Taiwan, I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for my friend Jasmine Warga’s debut novel.
I first blogged about her book, MY HEART AND OTHER BLACK HOLES, here.
I have now recapped the launch party over at We Heart YA.
And last week, I tweeted about a couple special surprises:

How cool!! We often focus on how awesome it will be to see our bylines, or our names on the front cover of a book, but I think it might be just as incredible to be acknowledged in someone else’s book. I hope I have that honor someday.,
I’m sure you will! And I think you’re right: it’s just as special. That reminds me of something that author Courtney Stevens said in an interview:
“If I get to the end of my career and my name is on more spines than in acknowledgements, I’ve done something wrong.”
