I love it when popular authors cite other popular authors.

I'm reading Bowled Over, a Maggie Kelly/Saint Just mystery right now. It's an odd series (Maggie is the writer, and Saint Just, or Alex, is the main character in her novels. That is, until one day he shows up on her doorstep in New York...)

And Maggie's talking about marrying off Saint Just in the books, and she cites Nora Roberts, who has this great series about a man and his cop wife.

The In Death series, written under the pseudonym of J.D. Robb, starring the ever sexy, debonair Roarke and his lovely wife, Lt. Eve Dallas. Never mind the books are mostly centered around Eve's cases...not around Roarke (which means she should have top billing, not him).

So there you go. Who doesn't love this type of random reference?

Or I was reading a Janet Evanovich once that cited a woman reading...some romance author that I had heard of... Joy.
