ok...so I jumped right in and might've went way too far...lmao. I sent the guy an email....here's what I said....

I wanted to ask you about your book. I'm a huge Jovi fan, and wanted to know if you included the subject of fan fiction? Also, did you talk to any fans for the book, or just people associated with the band?

I'm not in the fan club, but I run my own fan message board and I'm a "fan fic" writer. I've been a fan since Slippery When Wet. I'm not what some of us fans call a "kool-aide drinker" though. I'm your normal everyday person, not an obsessed stalker type psycho (although, I have joked that if Jon didn't live so far away and I wasn't so broke, he'd have a restraining order against me...lol). I work in radio. I'm the afternoon traffic reporter for the local Clear Channel radio stations here, and the night time air personality for one of them. I've never had the priviledge of meeting the guys, but I've always wanted to.

I'm also a published author. Actually, one of my fan fics was so loved by fellow fans that I changed the names and the Bon Jovi specific stuff and sent it to a publisher and the rest as you say is history. Although, as an inside joke to all my fellow fans...I left one of the "Jon"s in there.

When does your book come out? I would love to buy one.

Thanks for your time,
Terri England

and I also included the same signature that's in all my emails "I could kick this bad world's ass if I could just get on my feet"...but added where that was from so he would get it if he didn't know....lol.

Does anyone think I might've gone too far? lmao.

No, I don't think you've gone too far, T. Let's see whether he has the balls to answer LOL

[T]

He answered...but the only question he answered was the one about when the book comes out....May 7th...and it's available for pre-order now on Amazon.com.

Yet another 'unofficial' look at our favorite men. *sigh* Do you suppose there will ever be an 'official' encyclopedia? I'd like to see that one...
