The
THIEF Gallery—page 1 |
|
|
| |
In May of 2005, we had a "Where in the World
is To Love a Thief?" Contest, in which readers sent photos
of themselves posing with TO LOVE A THIEF—or of just themselves—along
with a little story. We have lungfish and baby seals. Camping trips
and birthdays and cruises. Book groups, babies and vampire statues.
Texas, Finland, and Afghanistan...it's marvelous! Here are our entries!
Hope you all enjoy meeting a few fellow readers. :)

Here
THIEF poses with Devonia Smith, of Dallas, Texas, while she makes
her toenails beautiful. Devonia originally found THE
RUNAWAY DUKE in a dumpster (?!?) and became a fan,
proving the tenacity of that book in finding readers, I guess.
Devonia sells beautiful hand-painted vintage items at her E-Bay
store. |
|
Here we have Debra Guyette of
Connecticut reading TO LOVE A THIEF to her 26-inch long lungfish,
who bites. Says Debra, "I thought we could read the book together
and maybe soothe the savage beast. "

These beautiful, grinning ladies are the Santa Clara, California
Brentano's Romance Reader's Group. They meet monthly to discuss
new and future releases, eat cookies, and then Ellen (the group's
leader) passes out ARCs so the group can give her feedback for their
buyer. From left to right, front Row: Ellen Higuchi (the
group leader); Deborah M., Roxann. Back Row: Jackie, Debra
V., Patty, Jenny, Peigi, Diana, Christine, Sandra.

Here Lily Masters of
(an ethereal-looking) TO LOVE A THIEF is flanked by Spike and Angel,
with whom she's holding hands. This photo was contributed by Michelle,
a writer from Toronto, who loves Buffy, Beanie Babies and cats, and
who thinks Lily would make a terrific vampire. |

Teresa Henson of Connecticut
claims she couldn't put TO LOVE A THIEF down, even when it came time
to take a shower. |

Here Sam
Crist of Northern California attempts to psychically discern the contents
of his mom's copy of TO LOVE A THIEF. Karen's a romance reader from
way back (she remembers first stumbling across the euphemism "member"
in Love's Scarlet Banner), and she's delighted that she can
finally quit her day job to be a mom and start her own business (so
her husband can retire). |

This is Domenic
Long of San Francisco, California, lover of sunbeams and stealer of
Q-tips (perhaps because they look like mouse tails?), with one of
his roommate's copies of TO LOVE A THIEF. |

Terra
Codack of Forth Worth, Texas is one determined—and original—reader.
She and THIEF set out in the car from Forth Worth for the Romantic
Times Convention in St. Louis, stopping along the way to commune with
a giant Indian in Oklahoma (Terra says he's grumpy because he wanted
her copy of THIEF); five hours later, they arrived in Missouri (they
stopped for the photo); and finally found yours truly at the RT Convention
booksigning, below left. |

I finally got to meet
Terra at the Romantic Times Conference—here's me with my stack
of TO LOVE A THIEF'S at the big booksigning. |

Mill Valley, California Real
estate mogul Geoff Hancock shows off his two copies of TO LOVE A THIEF.
He would probably read more historical romance if it featured more
karate. (note: Geoff isn't really orange in real life). |
