Re: What the Bride Wore (3:07am September 5, 2013):

Count me in!! I would love to read this book! I love your work!

Re: Unforeseeable (2:57am September 5, 2013):

Oooaahh! This book sounds so fascinating! I love the suspense you have
added to the Amish/Mennonite setting. We see their world as a perfect,
peaceful place. Now you give us, adventure, mystery, romance along with
suspense all wrapped up in a unique setting! I love it! Please pick me!

Re: The Blood Gospel (2:37am September 5, 2013):

Oh wow! I would love to win this book! It is so fascinating! To co-write with
James Rollin must have been an exciting adventure! I have many thoughts on
the birth of vampires. Sometimes I think of the legend of Dracula, other times
I'm just not sure. I saw somewhere on the news where they found skeletons
dating back long ago with skulls that had fangs. I wonder if that is where the
legends began. ???? Anyway I have been obsessed with vampires since I was a
child. Why?? I like to think that my mother's love for them was passed down
lovingly to me! When I was a small child together she and I would cuddle on
the couch to watch all of the old vampire movies. As funny as it might sound,
what wonderful memories I can say I have with her. .

Re: The Highlander's Desire (1:53am September 5, 2013):

I love stories sbout the Scottish Highlands. They seem to touch a place deep
in my soul. It's hard for me to list a few fairytales I love because there are so
many but Beauty and the Beast would be one. I love Tangled and Brave, even
though she hasn't yet met the man of her dreams , though the relationship
between her parents is quite cute. Merida's father is a hilarious version of a
strong highlander! Lol! I do love that movie!

Re: Love Him or Leave Him (1:16am September 5, 2013):

I love your reasons; they all are great! For me, reading is an outlet to escape
to when all of my world has been turned upside down and I need somewhere to
go to to clear my mind: a place where life is less complicated and there is
hope, happiness and love.

Re: Never Say No to a Caffarelli (11:38pm September 4, 2013):

Congrats on #50! You go girl!! I'm a simple person, give me a sugar cookie or
a shortbread cookie ( Lorna Doone) with a cup of hot, sweet Lipton black or
green tea and I am a happy lil camper! *Giggle*

Re: The Good Wife (11:23pm September 4, 2013):

Jane, I love your books! You are one great lady and I am a big fan! I would love
to win your new book! Thank you for being here today! You are the bonb!

Re: Once Upon A Tartan (11:35am August 16, 2013):

Thank you for being here. I used to write stories for my children when they
were young and I have alot of ideas for books but I need a boast of confidence
to help me put my thoughts down on paper. I just need a little push to make it
all happen. It will, when I don't know but it will! : )

Re: Seven Days Normal (12:03pm January 8, 2013):

Great advice! I think all of us can
remember our first masterpiece we wrote
at an early age. Of course, some were
much better than others. I'm so happy
your first story has lead you to here. Thank
you!

Re: The Missing Manuscript Of Jane Austen (11:52am January 8, 2013):

I find your writing process so intriguing! It amazes me some how a single
idea becomes a complete novel. Thank you for sharing your process. I
can't wait to read this book! Many blessings!

Re: Dark Flame (10:19pm June 27, 2010):

Great post. I haven't read any of Alyson's books but would love too.

Re: Hidden Wives (9:54pm June 27, 2010):

I am in a reading funk right now. Anyone know anyway to get out of it and fast?

Re: Something About You (1:48am March 20, 2010):

Give me a guy like Daniel Craig and an adventure like James Bond; a little mystery like Castle and I have a wonderful bonk in my hand!!

Re: The Highlander's Sword (4:25pm March 17, 2010):

Happy St. Paddy's Day! It sounds like a great story. Whether you're Irish or Scottish, any hot man in a kilt is wonderful to look at and fun to read about!

Re: The Stolen Crown (12:56pm March 16, 2010):

This sounds like a great historical novel. I love to read them and research some of the history behind the novel. I am adding this to my TBP list!

Re: The You I Never Knew (10:27pm March 14, 2010):

It really depends on my mood. With my hormones I can laugh and cry at the same time. I enjoy books which allow me to do both!

Re: Cowboy Trouble (11:10pm February 28, 2010):

I love my cowboys! I'm even rooting for the cowboys on the Amazing Race!!

Re: The Mane Squeeze (11:08pm February 28, 2010):

I read for fun. If someone would pay me to read what I like to read then maybe we could work out a deal. But just for now I read for me!

Re: Seeing Red (11:05pm February 28, 2010):

I had a difficult month. No goals met, too many problems. Thank goodness tomorrow is another month!!!

Re: Accidentally Demonic (12:13pm February 17, 2010):

Dakota, your books are great. I can't wait to read the newest one in the series! You rock!

Re: The Phoenix Charm (10:52pm February 3, 2010):

There is such a mystery about Celtic mythology. I love how the stories lure you in, it's magic!

Re: Catch Of A Lifetime (10:47pm February 3, 2010):

I love the way she writes. Can't wait to get ahold of this new book!

Re: Deadtown (10:45pm February 3, 2010):

This book sounds great, I will have to check it out. Thank you for a great interview.

Re: Drive Time (8:02pm February 2, 2010):

I am very tight-mouthed! I know how to keep a secret. Your books are great!

Re: Catch Of A Lifetime (7:58pm February 2, 2010):

Great Post!! Count me in to win!

Re: Hasta La Vista, Lola! (11:40pm January 29, 2010):

Patricia Cornwell and Karen Reichs are my favorite mystery writers. I have got to get this new book of yours!

Re: Hold On Tight (9:52pm January 26, 2010):

Congrats on your new release! I sat in my car unpatiently today waiting for the bookstore to open so I could run in to get it today!!!

When I am not sure what a word means I always look it up. Why?
1. Because I want to know the meaning of it.
2. I don't want to get stumped by it again.

Re: Rogue Stallion (2:38pm January 23, 2010):

I can't tell you about any of them, sorry. I do love Linda Lael Miller's cowboy novels. Her cowboys are yummy!

Re: Forbidden Falls (10:59pm January 17, 2010):

I have a Blackberry, but will soon own an Iphone as soon I get my phone upgrade next month. I own a laptop and two desktops. I want an eReader as soon as I discover which one is the best for me. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: The Keepers Of Sulbreth (1:53am January 16, 2010):

Oh my,YES! I have picked up so many books just by the title alone! I pick them up just by my favorite authors too. Most of the time I have like the book, some times I don't. I try to learn by my mistakes and read a bit of the book before I buy but olde habits are hard to break. I found a character in one book I truly loved, I wish I could have named one of my daughters after her but I couldn't. She became my alter-ego; my muse! I truly love her!

Re: Forget Me Not (12:30pm January 14, 2010):

Vicki, I have always say, "When going gets tough, the tough gets going!" Hang in there! I know how you feel.

Re: Sleep No More (4:38pm January 12, 2010):

I was a sleepwalker. I used to get up, turn the T.V. on and watch it in my sleep. Great ideas for a book, I recommend everyone try sleepwalking at least once! :-)

Re: Not My Daughter (11:17pm January 8, 2010):

Great interview! I have got to get a copy of this book!

Re: My Dearest Mr. Darcy (11:16pm January 8, 2010):

I love both versions of "Your, Mine and Ours." They are both great stories!

Re: Sizzle (10:33pm January 8, 2010):

I think all characters work off each other. Like theater, you have the protagonist and antagonist. Without each other, there is no plot, no climax and no happy ending. There are so many possibilities for the outcome, the writer is the one to choose. :-)

Re: Deadtown (8:44pm January 6, 2010):

Well in some worlds, vampires don't drink blood from people but drink synthetic blood. They don't sleep in coffins, they sleep in freezers. Some glisten in the sun.

Re: Come Hell Or High Water (8:37pm January 6, 2010):

I married the wrong person but got two beautiful daughters out of it. After divorcing him, I remarried, to a man who I have now been with for 25 years. Not only has he treated those two girls like his own, we had three more children together.

Re: Fugitive (11:50pm January 5, 2010):

Re: Deadly Liaisons (9:47pm January 1, 2010):

I love your books! You have set realistic goal which are very obtainable! I just want to take one day t a time. Happy New Year!

Re: Kitty's House Of Horrors (12:39pm December 28, 2009):

Re: Mennonite Community Cookbook (12:11pm December 20, 2009):

We do especially during holidays. I am half Polish, part Irish, Scottish and a dash of American Indian. We have pierogies, povitica and Golabki. I love to try new recipes. Your Mennonite cookbook would be a welcome change to some of my recipes.

Re: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (12:00pm December 20, 2009):

Re: Rainwater (9:42pm December 14, 2009):

I would love to give these books to someone special one this cold snowy day...me, myself and I! I need a healthy boost of sunshine coming it's way in the way of books!

Re: The Gift (9:30pm December 8, 2009):

Your story is very touching. I was blessed with twins girls born in 1989. I thank God every day for their healthy, full-term birth. I, too, was also high risk and on bedrest for 3 months. I believe my best Christmas was that year they were born. We had five healthy children, a too small house and one-salary income yet we had they best Christmas ever. The kids were young and didn't care that Santa had very little money as long as their were presents under the tree. Those were the days when an empty box was just as fun to play with than the present itself. When a stocking filled of candy, toothbrushes and small little toys kept them busy for hours. And where the brand name of the clothing was not important as long as is fit and was comfortable and no one cared if it didn't have a special "Name". Everyone was so innocent back then including my husband and me!

Re: Dancing On The Head Of A Pin (8:35pm December 6, 2009):

I would Like to give this to my son, Kane who loves a true adventure.

Re: The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker (8:48pm December 4, 2009):

Re: Searching For Pemberley (9:07pm December 3, 2009):

Re: A Father For Jesse (5:32pm November 26, 2009):

Totally Cool! I in to free stuff!

Re: Take Me For A Ride (4:32pm November 25, 2009):

I remember making Thanksgiving dinner for everyone when I was 19 and was first married. I had a very old oven which always cooked unevenly. My turkey and pies turned out good but something happened to the dressing. It was a mess! I had too much seasoning, the celery and onions didn't cook; it was just awful! The rolls turned out so hard; we could have played baseball with them. I tried! I cried! Times has past and my cooking skills are far better so now when I cook Thanksgiving dinner everyone gets full, slump around the t.v. for football and nap! Thankgoodness!

Re: Captive of Sin (12:54pm November 24, 2009):

This books sounds amazing! It's on my to read list.

Re: The Monuments Men (9:17pm November 20, 2009):

Behind every good man is a woman! Thank you for proving that point!

Re: Stolen Heat (9:12pm November 20, 2009):

What a pretty lady!!! I like a good secondary romance as long as it doesn't overshadow the main characters. I can't remember the last book I read with a secondary romance in it.

Re: Prime Evil (9:07pm November 20, 2009):

Trudge ahead, you're almost there!

Re: The Sari Shop Widow (5:37pm November 17, 2009):

As one of your followers, I beleive in you and your works. It is a long hard road walked by many of your fellow authors, but will prevail. Everyone start out with baby steps before they could walk or even run down that road!

Re: The Accidental Werewolf (5:27pm November 17, 2009):

Talking with different author on blogs introduce me into a whole new realm of books. I, too, think that winning books bring new authors into my world. I love it.

Re: Men Of The Otherworld (4:39pm November 16, 2009):

I haven't read many werewolf books. I guess the fastest, most powerful and best looking one would win!!!

Re: Prime Evil (4:37pm November 16, 2009):

I love any type of vampire that looks hot and sexy!

Re: Over My Dead Body (4:34pm November 16, 2009):

I was cooking by time i could sit up in a high chair! I had hip dysplasia and was in a cast until I was 4. Because I couldn't ran and play like the other kids, my babysitter used to put me up into the highchair and let me cook with her. I was making cookies and telling time by time I was 3 years old. She is a second mother to me. I will always remember making no-bake cookies wither. My dad used to make Thanksgiving Dinner for all of us and I remember being 6 years old helping him make stuffing and pumpkin pies! Thank goodness for Daddies!

Re: Kill Zone (2:43pm November 13, 2009):

Great excerpt! I wish I could say I was a good Bunco Babe! Ha Ha!

Re: Children of the Night (8:33pm November 11, 2009):

I enjoy the Twilight series and Charlaine Harris-Sookie Stackhouse series! I like the good vampires and the ones that are good being bad!

Re: The Princess Bride (1:33pm November 9, 2009):

I love that movie, but I haven't watched it forever!

Re: Wild Blue Under (1:30pm November 9, 2009):

This sounds so fun! I loved the excerpt. Great sense of humor, Judi! I love it!

Re: Rainwater (12:45pm November 6, 2009):

I do watch book trailers that way I can get a feel for the storyline. If i pick up a book and read the back sometimes I just don't know if I want to read it. The information is sometimes misleading. I just don't like being disappointed. I have so many books that I have purchased and found after the first chapter I just don't like it. Your trailer looks wonderful!

Re: One Lucky Cowboy (3:03pm November 5, 2009):

What a great interview! You have a sense of humor, Miss Jane! Great way to tell us about your book and make us wanting more and more! What a fun read!

Re: The Wrong Side of Dead (4:35pm November 4, 2009):

I'm glad someone wanted him because I sure wouldn't. No Thank You! I think I would need proof too. Funny how different cultures marry multiple times, have dozens and dozens of children. How do they keep track with which night do they go to which wife? FREAKY!

Re: Killjoy (2:42pm November 3, 2009):

I don't relate much to villians. They always meet such a tragic ending! Poor souls.

Re: Captive Desires (4:17pm November 2, 2009):

My creative outlets are writing stories,photography and crocheting. I like to take my camera out to the zoo or somewhere remote and capture nature at its' best!I love to hide out with a good book. They are my ways to escape when my mind is in overload. I would love to have fairies and unicorns be real or a cute little leperchaun! A nice one not an evil one!

Re: Haunted (3:17pm October 30, 2009):

I love Practical Magic! I can watch it all of the time! Hocus Pocus is another favorite. I like the original "Witches of Eastwick" with Cher!

Re: Lucky Break (3:14pm October 30, 2009):

Re: Final Approach (3:11pm October 30, 2009):

Re: What The Duke Desires (3:40pm October 29, 2009):

My whole family is on Facebook, even my Mom and Mother-In Law! One of my favorite novels with family involved is "The Thornbirds!" Good Luck on your new book!

Re: Silver Silence (2:54pm October 27, 2009):

Thank you for a glimpse of your book, I can't wait to see what else lies between the book's cover. I love Avalon and all it's magic!

Re: The Pelican Brief (2:51pm October 27, 2009):

I don't see color. I see strength through a character's eyes. I feel their heart through a writer's words. Color is only skin deep in my eyes. It's character that more important!

Re: Fool Moon (11:01pm October 26, 2009):

I love audio books! They allow me to do things but listen to a great book at the same time. Poor Harry, he only lasted on season on T.V. So Sad!!!!!

Re: My Unfair Lady (10:30pm October 26, 2009):

What a lovely letter! Any Papa would love to receive it!

Re: Finger Lickin' Fifteen (5:10pm October 19, 2009):

I need enough info to pull me into the book so I really want to read it. I need the location and time frame. I want to drawn in so I feel like I am a part of the novel, not just an outsider

Re: Loot the Moon (4:45pm October 19, 2009):

I give myself little rewards to keep myself motivated. It doesn't have to be big but something I really like. For instance, I need to get something finished quickly, a deadline or somethng, I treat myself to my favorite ice cream, candy bar or book; depending on my deadline. It's all worth it in the end.

Re: The Trials Of The Honorable F. Darcy (11:51pm October 16, 2009):

I relate more to Elizabeth!

Re: The Promise (9:30pm October 12, 2009):
