Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Categories: James Patterson
Talk about the luck of the Irish! (No, I'm not Irish, but don't most people don the green and celebrate this special day?). I had an encounter with a famous writer this past weekend. I had just completed a fun book signing event at Great Balls of Yarn in West Palm Beach. My friend, Marsha Roche, was with me, and we decided to have lunch at City Place, a high-end mall close by. As we headed down the escalator toward the parking garage, I noticed a man riding up on the opposite side. I recognized him immediately and said, “Hello, James Patterson!” He raised his hand and returned my greeting, even though he didn't know me. We were two ships passing in the night , or, in this case, two bodies standing on movable stairs. I did get a thrill out of seeing him!

I would be thrilled to pass you in the night. Wish you would come over to the EAST COAST, FT. MYERS AREA.

It is so exciting to meet famous people. I stood in line for a very long time to meet you. And you made me feel like it was worth the wait. I still tell people about my meeting with you a couple of years ago. I am working in Palm Springs Ca this week and so far I have not seen any famous people. We will be seeing the GUESS WHO at a party tonight. Dorothy-Berwyn,IL

What a thrill for you. You are a very humble lady when you are thrilled to meet a famous author when you are one yourself. I would rather meet you. Thanks for all the pleasure you give us. Janet in Michigan

How exciting for you Debbie. Several months ago I was at the airport waiting to pick up my daughter when Muhammed Ali and his wife walked in front of me. I could have asked for a picture or said hello but I didn't jump about and make a scene. It was exciting enough just to see him and we thought we were respecting his right to privacy by just standing there with our mouths open! LOL.
