I agree with you, especially about not oedivorng it. One reference to another book or author is plenty. I'm thinking of THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER when Bree goes into the bookstore to pick up 'the latest Hale novel.' In my opinion, that was perfect. For fans of Shannon Hale, it was crystal clear. For everybody else, it was a simple detail they could easily skip right over and continue to enjoy the book they were reading. I sometimes slip pop culture references into my books, but when I'm rereading them, they always feel like red flags to me. I'm sure there's a way to leave them out and make the story that much stronger on its own.Important things to think about. Thanks for the great post, Michelle!
