*squeals excitedly*
Oh, my it was so exciting: Robin Jones Gunn is in Australia and I heard her over the phone! I wrote about it on Robin's Sisterchicks site and so as not to have to repeat everything I'll just copy and paste what I wrote there, kay?
Here 'tis: The run-down on my wildly fun Sisterchick morning ;)
~~~
It was the wildest wake-up call I've ever had. My little sister shook me awake, and pushed the phone into my hands with a "It's Rachel."All Rachel, my older sister, said was: "Shut up, Robin Jones Gunn is on the radio!"
And that's how I heard your interview over FM1032. I live 14 hours away from Sydney up in Queensland, but your voice was carrying perfectly over the radio, up the phone line, and into my handset!
You've been our favourite author ever since back when Rachel first read The Sierra Jensen series and then passed them onto me with a, "You have to read these!" And we've read every book of yours since (just have to find the money to get the Sisterchicks series now!).
When you said you were here in Oz researching for Sisterchicks Go Down Under, we both screamed. I think it's the most excited we've ever gotten together when on the phone! lol
Anyhow, I just had to let you know to what lengths a pair of Sisterchick sisters will go to, to share the experience of listening to you live on the radio. We loved hearing your answers to Joanne's questions, and totally can't wait until the last book, Sisterchicks Go Down Under comes out.
I hope you have an awesome time here in Oz. Do you plan to do the bridge climb? ;)
Sonrisa!
Lydia--who is still-extremely-excited-and-still-smiling-madly
P.S. I'm also one of the crazy Australian fans who sent you a letter once. Thanks again, for the wonderful postcard you sent back :)

*grins wildly* She has an accent that sounds really similiar to yours Kayci! She lives in Portland, Oregon so I'm guessing it must be the Southern Belle twang, am I anywhere close? And oh, it was so exciting! Rach and I just kept screaming. lolAnd since Rach lives in Sydney she's like, "I've got to go out today. See if I can find her!"
And I was like, "Yes! You could like wander the streets with a photo of her, asking people: 'I'm looking for Robin Jones Gunn. Have you seen her?' " Oh, man, now I really wish I wasnt' going to Sydney in a couple of weeks but was there right now! he..he..This is such an awesome day! Just remembeirng being woken up by the voice of my favourite author is going to keep me high for a minimum 24 hours. *giggles*
