Re: Beyond Limits (4:03pm January 27, 2015):

Can't wait to read this, sounds like a real page turner.

Re: Going Home (9:19pm October 16, 2014):

Your aunt's cabin sounds like a wonderful place to spend a summer. Laid back and all the fresh air and greenery. The story seems like it would fit right in. Can't wait to read it.

Re: Shenandoah Dreams (3:08pm July 5, 2014):

It really all depends on the place. If it was non-threatening then I would probably explore and see what I could find. On the other hand if it was a dark and dangerous place I would look for a safe hiding place or a way home.

Re: Montana Bride (11:21am June 24, 2014):

I enjoy following the stories. that continue through the generations. Sometimes when I pick up a book from a series it seems like I am reconnecting with old friends. As a reader I am sometimes amazed at how well authors can weave the story lines and have the books work so well together.

Re: Dream Huntress (11:15am June 24, 2014):

Sometime it seems like I can hear my grandmothers voice telling me when something isn't quite right. I don't know if it is just my own mind or whether she is still keeping watch over me. Can't wait to read the story.

Re: Kissing with Fangs (3:01am March 20, 2014):

I think this sound really interesting. I really like the excerpt and can't wait to read the whole book.

Re: Silence Of The Wolf (2:57am March 20, 2014):

I think it would have to be the Cayman Islands with Duncan. I have always wanted to explore those islands and would love to do so with him.

Re: The Temptation of Lady Serena (5:56am January 3, 2014):

Sounds like a really fun read. Most Regency romances I have read tend to be all about couples being forced to wed and then realizing they love each other. How nice to find a story that doesn't follow the norm.

Re: Shenandoah Crossings (5:26am November 15, 2013):

I would love to run away to a Caribbean island and live on the beach. I don't really care about the time as long as there is indoor plumbing-lol.. It would be nice to get away from everything and relax on the beach.

Re: Texas Tango (3:24am November 15, 2013):

I remember my own teenage years and knowing what I put my parents through helps me have more patience with my own daughter. I think it is really important for the adults that are dealing with them have a lot of love and patience. Can't wait to read this story and see how it all works out for Noah.

Re: Death Of A Schoolgirl (4:31am October 15, 2013):

I love the idea to expand on such a wonderful origional. Good luck and I can't wait to read it.

Re: The Patterer (4:16am October 7, 2013):

I love that you are poking fun at a mostly serious group of people. Sounds like a very fun read.

Re: The Surprising Enchantress (2:17am September 16, 2013):

The Unlikely Heroines sounds like a really fun book. I can't wait to see how the story plays out since in the origional she is such a mean person and it is hard for me to picture her deserving of a good guy.

Re: The Good Wife (1:28pm September 3, 2013):

This sounds like a very interesting idea and a new take on an old theme. Can't wait to read.
Have a wonderful day.

Re: Never Say No to a Caffarelli (1:21pm September 3, 2013):

I have always loved a recipe from my grandmother that is for Lemon Angelfood cake. It is both sweet and tangy at the same time and goes wonderfully with both black and green tea.
Congrats on the milestone and good luck with the next 50.

Re: Deliver Me From Temptation (8:55am December 21, 2012):

I really enjoyed the exerpt and can't wait to get my hands on the book. Have a wonderful holiday.

Re: I Own The Dawn (4:45am August 2, 2012):

It always seems to be something unexpected that gets to me the most. Having my daughter look at me out of the blue and say "I love you mom" will make me tear up in an instant.

Re: The Princess and the Outlaw (3:47am July 1, 2012):

To bring a little fun into my life I try to see things the way my 9yr old daughter does. She is amazed and delighted by things that I am not so I try to look at everything from her point of view. We also go rollerblading together (I hadn't been on skates in over 20yrs) both at the local roller rink as well as on walking paths in the area.

Re: Wicked Nights (3:12am July 1, 2012):

The very first character that 'grabbed' me was Aragon in the Lord of the Rings series. I first read them as a young girl and really fell in love with him. Tolkien was such a master at making his characters seem alive and easy to identify with.

Re: First Do No Evil (3:01am July 1, 2012):

I think that if the story is helped by love or sex scenes then by all means inclued it. I don't agree with adding them just to be doing so, a lot of books are helped by love scenes but I have read a couple where there were way too many of them and they didn't really help the progression of the story.

Re: Grill Me, Baby (4:41am June 17, 2012):

Whenever I have a grilled cheese sandwich it brings my back to my summer vacations at my grandmothers house. It seems like that was lunch most days and we would sit outside in the backyard with our sandwiches and iced tea. What a great time we had and I always get a smile on my face thinking of it.

Re: The Rebel Rancher (11:51pm May 26, 2012):

How sad for your husbands family but what a blessing everyone could be together and there for each other. I can't wait to read the story.

Re: Kiss Of The Goblin Prince (11:59pm May 11, 2012):

I can't wait to read the book, sounds really entertaining.

Re: Under Fire (11:58pm May 11, 2012):

I think the book sounds really interesting. I am not a military spouse but a "brat" so the sacrifices of our Service men and women as well as their families are something I understand. My father was in the USAF for 22yrs and we moved 7 times and spent 2 1/2 years without him while he was on remote tours.

Re: The Proposal (11:57pm May 4, 2012):

These sound really good and I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Re: Lady Maggie's Secret Scandal (11:49pm May 4, 2012):

I caught my former husband with another woman but I couldn't confront them since I had my then 6yr old daughter with me. That was a truly impossible moment.

Re: Tempting the Best Man (11:28pm May 4, 2012):

I loved the interview and as the mother of a 9yr old girl I agree with a lot of what you said. I have been an avid reader for years (including erotica) and my daughter is also a huge reader. So far she isn't looking for romance in the books she reads, at least not the main plot isn't, but I can see that changing in the near future and I really do believe that the YA books need to be "G" rated.

Re: Darkest Caress (11:21pm May 4, 2012):

My older sister and I both got pregnant and were due on the same day. The crazy part of that is that I wasn't even trying to get pregnant and my sister was 37 and I was 35. Turned out she had her daughter a week early and I had my daughter a week late but they were born exactly 2 weeks apart and were both girls. They are now the best of friends (9 yrs old) and it brought my sister and I a lot closer.

Re: Somebody To Love (11:28pm April 24, 2012):

I divorced my husband of 21 years not so long ago so my daughter and I had to start over. It has been a really tough time but I have learned a lot about myself in the process. It is surprising what you can accomplish when you don't have any other options.

Re: Waking Up Dead (9:20pm November 26, 2011):

I think it is amazing to be able to actually sit down and get the whole book down and published. It sounds like a wonderful book and I can't wait to sit down and read it.

Re: Fall From Pride (2:48am August 20, 2011):

I lived in Northern Ohio for 6 years and one of my favorite memories is of visiting the Amish. I was young but can still remember the peace and tranquility that seemed to be such a large part of the community. Wouldn't it be nice to have those feelings spread.

Re: The Lady Of The Storm (2:47pm August 4, 2011):

It is always so interesting to read a book that engages my "inner eye". I love a book that makes me picture part of the story for myself. I think that any author that can make me do that is truely talented.

Re: Undead And Undermined (11:56am July 22, 2011):

I would love to have a problem like your, LOL... You made me laugh. Can't wait to read the latest book.

Re: A Courtesan's Guide to Getting Your Man (7:55pm May 26, 2011):

This sounds like a very entertaining read. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Re: A Song For My Mother (9:41pm April 9, 2011):

My mom and I don't get along all that well but she did get me started reading. Any time she wasn't busy with something else there was a book in her hands and I just naturally started picking them up and reading them. It started out with Regency romances, harlequins and then modern romance and fiction. After I moved out, we both continued reading and have traded books for quite a while, it is one passion that we both share.

Re: Collision Course (9:34pm April 9, 2011):

I fell in love with fantasy and sci-fi at the ripe old age of 8years old. I had an uncle who was reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlin and I picked it up and have been hooked ever since. I watched Battlestar Galactica (both origional and the Sci-Fi remake), all of the Star Trek series (my favorite is Voyager) and of course have seen every new series that comes out. The sci-fi film genre is a wonderful thing and I have probably seen every good and bad movie possible in the last 20years. I love finding a great romance in the middle of a sci-fi story, it makes it just that much better.

Re: An Unlikely Countess (10:08pm March 19, 2011):

I don't think it is wrong for someone to want to get into a better social set but it would be really hard once they reached it.

Re: Assassin's Heart (2:15pm August 24, 2010):

I do believe in past lives and while there are several places I am sure that I have lived before nothing else is very clear. I think it would be a very special thing to know who and what you were in the past, be it good or bad.

Re: Seduced by the Wolf (1:57pm August 24, 2010):

This sounds awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Re: Seduce Me (11:01pm July 29, 2009):

I like the way you break down love scenes, I really agree that it needs to be a genuine part of the characters and not just sex for the sake of sex.
