How Cool is Alyson Noel?

Alright, so I've avoided the paranormal craze like the plague, but I think this woman sounds like she kicks some serious ass.  Some basic highlights:

• Had her first book published in 2005


• Since then, she's published a whopping FOURTEEN books


• She's been published in 35 countries and has topped every bestseller list I've heard of


• And, oh yeah, she just signed a "healthy" "multi-million" dollar book deal.  FIVE YEARS after publishing her first novel!


• In addition, she seems to also share my Mark Twainian philosophy of taking on every job that comes her way.


• This from her website:  Important lesson learned: "That it's never too late to follow your dream, though there's nothing wrong with getting a head start."

My kind of girl!

Rock on Alyson, congrats on your book deal--I'm heading over to Barnes and Noble to check out your backlist!
