Just curious, does the list surprise you? Have you ever met any of the authors on this list?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only one I’ve ever met is Nora Roberts. She’s a member of my local RWA chapter and she’ll sometimes attend the yearly retreat.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest – I’d like to be on this list!<\/p>\n
