Hello? Is It Me You're Looking For?

I got the best e-mail from one of my colleagues this morning.  She's a big time reader of inspirational historical romance, and has just wrapped up Deeanne Gist's latest, Love On The Line.  Some of you might recall I featured this book, about a rural switchboard operator and a Texas Ranger working undercover, in my last Unusual Historicals spotlight.

Guess who else is a character in Love On The Line?  Oh, none other than the town librarian.  A town librarian who is named after....

Yours truly.

Gist even makes her a "Mrs." - so it's nice to know that my name isn't attached to an Old Maid Spinster Librarian Who Is Two Steps Away From Being A Crazy Cat Lady.

The fictional Queen Librarian Of The Universe is apparently only mentioned a few times in the story, and not a terribly prominent character, but still? Squee!

I was going to read a library copy of this, but damn - now I have to buy the book.  Well, actually two copies - since I'm sure My Man's mother is going to want to read it as well.
