Shirley's Interests
Music
I'm an eclectic when it comes to music. I'm a fan of Sinatra remakes. Michael Buble, Renee Olstead, Steve Tyrell, all those David Foster finds who take the classics and do them again.
Movies
Anything that isn't a guy movie :-) I like to be scared, love comedies, don't mind one that'll make me cry. Loved "Cold Mountain," hated the ending. Loved "Meet the Parents," hated the sequel.
Television
Totally addicted to "Lost" and dying until it starts up again. Love "Prison Break" (Michael Scofield was the cutest until Linc grew that beard) and "ER", "Desperate Housewives," and "The Office" and "My Name is Earl." My all-time favorite episode of "The Office" has to be the bubble wrap one. Loved the one with when Jim sent faxes from Future Dwight.
Books
Jodi Picoult's The Tenth Circle. Stephen King...anything. Susan Elizabeth Phillips...anything. The entire Harlequin NeXt line. I love Barbara Kingsolver, Deborah Smith, Barbara Samuel, Linda Goodnight, Suzanne Brockmann, Lisa Gardner...so many I'd need a whole new page :-)
About me: New York Times Bestselling and USA Today Bestselling author Shirley Jump spends her days eating, shopping and writing romantic comedies for Kensington Books (Really Something, December 2007) as well as for both Harlequin NeXt and Romance (Miracle on Christmas Eve, November 2007)
New in stores this fall! Miracle on Christmas Eve (November) and Really Something (December)! And in the UK only: "Snowbound Bride" in Christmas Weddings!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Shirley, Happy Birthday to you! Since I couldn't sing it to you in person...there you go! Enjoy your day and RWA!
Hey Shirley! I wanted to give you and your friends an exclusive sneak peak at the new CataRomance.com where we're Celebrating Category Romance. http://testblog.cataromance.com/ Let us know what you think!
Hi Shirley! Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed "Pretty Bad." Did you have to do a lot of research on the cheese industry? :) I bet that was wildly exciting. Unless you got to eat a lot of cheese. That would be ok! Also, I have to ask - is your puppy still stealing your underwear and bringing it out everywhere? Because this guy to the left certainly is stealing mine. Fortunately, it's just been my family that sees it. Sigh.
My gosh, I just noticed you've been here since November!! Sigh ... Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Valentines Day! Happy St. Patricks Day! Happy Easter!
That should get us caught up, huh?
I wonder why Cheese was added to the vision board. Maybe it was a sign that you should push the envelope and do something with a strong, single mama lead??? HMM?? Tell them I said it was a good idea. ;-)
Thanks for the add. I enjoy your books very much and think of you often because I have one of your "Writer at Work" signs in my office. I picked it up at the Reno conference. :-)
Mahalo for accepting my friend request. I thoroughly enjoy your books -- the witty writing, strong characters and their fast-paced/fun stories. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
