Daniel Silva/BFF


I swear this is my last post about Daniel Silva.  Obviously, if you read my prior post, you understand my love/hate relationship with this man.  But it seems we may have turned a corner.

It was a normal routine morning when Tiffany called.

"Hello."
"Hey Hon, so hey don't be mad."
"You want me to go to another book signing."
"No, better.  I put your link to your recent blog post on Daniel Silva's website."
"Uh, huh..wha??"
"Yeah, and it says they try to respond to everyone."

I really can't recall what the rest of our conversation was about since I frantically pulled up my blog and was trying to read my post at the same time.  Anytime I read one of my smirky remarks I cringed inside.  'Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. What have I done?'

I sighed a breath of relief when Tiffany forwarded me a reply email.  It was similar to a recorded phone service.  It was general and basic:  'Thank you for contacting Daniel Silva, we try to respond to as many as possible.  Here are answers to Frequently Asked Questions, etc. etc....'

My response back to Tiffany was:
"AKA, I'm Daniel Silva and I do not have the time nor interest to respond to you."

Two days later I'm in a meeting wherein I keep seeing missed calls from Tiffany.  I finally receive a text that says:  Call Me NOW.
Figuring it was important enough to pull myself out of the meeting, she told me to check my email:



At first, we thought it was Daniel's assistant who responded but upon further reflection on the name, Jamie Gangel, realized she is none other than the famous NBC Today Show National Correspondent and wife of Daniel Silva.

So either, a.) I will have a protective order against me for threats I made on a very public blog or b.) I will be vacationing with the Silva's in the Hamptons for Christmas, exchanging recipes, be one of the main characters in his next book, and purchasing best friend necklaces.  (Fingers crossed).

Honestly, I don't know what was more humiliating, my written words or my picture with the Fonz.

Either way, I'm choosing to look at this experience one way:  I had a New York Bestselling Author read my words and that's something I never thought I'd say.

 Daniel Silva Forever!
