STATUS: I’m finally back! It definitely took a week longer than I expected but I’m doing great.
What’s playing on the XM or iPod right now? JEOPARDY by Greg Kihn (Of course!)
Late on Friday (July 29) I found out that Jamie Ford was going to be a literature question on that night’s TV show of Jeopardy!
Surely you’ve arrived if you are ubiquitous enough to be a question on a popular game show, right?
Not a single contestant got the answer. LOL!
Yep, take it down a notch Kristin. It still makes me smile though.
Still very cool even if the contestants didn’t get it right!
I think it was Reese Witherspoon who said she knew she’d made it when she was a Jeopardy question. Go Jamie!
You’ve definitely “made it” when you’re a Jeopardy answer. Congratulations, Jamie!!
The ultimate sign you have arrived! Congrats!
I’ve also seen HOTEL on a recent iPhone ad. The disembodied hand is scrolling through a list of iPhone-recommended e-books, and it stops for half a second on the cover of HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET!
Awesome. Glad you’re back!
Oh I know the answer! It’s sweet! Sweet!
Seriously, that’s awesome. Congrats to you and Jaime. 😀
That’s got to be on an author’s bucket list. I also would have been shouting at my television “sweet! sweet!” if I’d been watching that episode.
Now he can say when people ask if they would know his work, “Well, you may know me from a little show called Jeopardy”.
I watched that episode. I’m not sure what it says about me that I knew the answer and just watched dumbfounded as not one contestant buzzed in with the correct word.
I definitely think it’s a milestone if you make it on Jeopardy.
How exciting to be a Jeopardy question! I would have answered if I had been watching. Yeah Jamie!!
Oh, oh! I know this one, Mr. Trebek. What is “sweet”?
Congratulations! 🙂
P.S. Glad that you’re back and doing well, Kristin. We definitely missed you around the blogosphere. 🙂
Aww! Really? It seems to me like “sweet” would be a pretty safe guess, even if one hadn’t heard of the book.
Welcome back.
You are now the reason I have stopped editing and have jumped over to YouTube to watch SNL clips of Jeopardy. Thanks, Kristin. Thanks a whole bunch.
So glad you’re back!
Sweet!
Sweet. That you made it on Jeopardy that is. 🙂
OMG! Getting on Jeopardy–one way or the other–is on my bucket list. How stinking cool!!!! Sooo jealous.
Glad you’re back:-)
That is definitely cool to be a Jeopardy question but also cool because someone like me would want to go check out the book after seeing it was trivia-worthy. And there may have been plenty other viewers with the same thought.
Even if the contestants had never heard of the book, surely the missing word would have been an easy guess.
I saw that! And I shouted the answer in triumph. 😀
How cool is this! I read the book last week, too.

Watson would have gotten it.
so very cool!
Nice. But NONE of them got it? What else would it be: Main? Broadway? Almonds?
Funny to notice – most all of NLA’s clients are female. Here, let me pitch a story: Once upon a time, someone sued NLA for discrimination. They declined valid work that matched to a tee what they were looking for because the author was male. I would read that.
