Re: Bikers and Pearls (7:20am November 12, 2013):

My joy of reading started when I was really young. I use to read to my friends, because they were not very good readers. I always excelled at reading. I am so glad I have that gift. Reading to me is such a pleasant experience.

Re: Kisses On Her Christmas List (10:15pm October 3, 2013):

I think Christmas stories touch everyone's heart. I know they touch mine.

Re: Christmas On Mimosa Lane (7:41pm November 8, 2012):

My favorite thing about Christmas is to watch my 6 year old dog (Schatzie) open all of her Christmas presents. She uses her paws and mouth to open them. We tell her the Santa Beagle is coming and she is just like a little kid, waiting for Santa's arrival. She is my four legged fur kid enjoying Christmas and is also being included in our family traditional Celebration. It doesn't get any better than that.

Re: The Snow White Christmas Cookie (12:03pm November 4, 2012):

Amazing the fun you must have writing all of your books. Take no prisoners, I Love it!

Re: Contract For Marriage (12:59pm October 4, 2012):

I really don't like conflict so I would take flight and walk away. It's just not worth it.

Re: Temptation In A Kilt (1:35pm September 8, 2012):

I was never into bad boys. I guess they didn't really impress me with their big ambitions and arrogant ways. Sounds like a good read.

Re: When You Give A Duke A Diamond (1:31pm September 8, 2012):

I like the Strong and Brave. Showing weakness to me is a failure.

Re: Treacherous Toys (7:36pm September 5, 2012):

Life seems to always be some kind of a mystery. This book sounds like it will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thanks for the Contest!

Re: Return To Willow Lake (10:15pm September 4, 2012):

I live in a beautiful area where all of the trees are starting to change color. It's natures way of showing off just how beautiful fall colors can be. I believe your surroundings have a lot to do with your inspirations for writing. Keep up the good work.

Re: Every Breath She Takes (9:23pm September 3, 2012):

Thank You for this Contest. I just can't get enough of rereleased books. Congrats!

Re: Death Where The Bad Rocks Live (4:58pm September 1, 2012):

This sounds like one good book to get your hands on. I would love to read it. Thanks for the Contest.

Re: Lucky Break (4:53pm September 1, 2012):

I grew up in a small town. I can relate to topics about small town's. People would always tell me, I was a hick from the sticks. Til this day I still am proud of where I was raised. People always try to help each other out and seem to have warm loving hearts. I wouldn't change a thing about small town living. It was fantastic.

Re: Wicked Nights (4:29am June 29, 2012):

Zacharel caught my attention.

Re: The Rogue Pirate's Bride (1:33pm February 24, 2012):

I love romance novels for the complexity of the " Love Conquers All", type effect. So many of us would love these stories to be a part of our life. The writer takes you there and then let's the passion of the story give you a sweet and warm feeling inside to bring thoughts of what love really feels like. Then you take it from there.

Re: Ride With Me (5:16pm February 13, 2012):

I would say they call them Suicide Peppers. They are so Hot that I don't know how you don't die after eating them. My husband tried them and the sweat was running off his face. He loves hot things but these are killers.

Re: A Scandalous Countess (1:41pm February 10, 2012):

I like most genres of books. I especially like the Georgian Era. These books sound really good. Thanks for the Contest.

Re: Stud (7:21am February 9, 2012):

I loved the book Titanic and the movie. I never realized what those people had to endure. It was just terrible.

Re: The Duchess Diaries (1:49pm February 7, 2012):

The cover on your book is so elegant. It looks like a Victorian Valentine Day dress. Just beautiful. I always watch what I write down on a piece of paper. It may come back to haunt you later in life. This is a book I could really appreciate reading. I'm Sold!

Re: Far from Here (7:48pm February 4, 2012):

I make Holiday Wreaths for people. All occasions. They tell me what they want and I make it to their liking. I just love working with their themes, but with my ideas to create a masterpiece.

Re: Alpha Instinct (10:42am February 2, 2012):

I love that whatever you can imagine in the story can become a reality. I'm sold.

Re: Chosen By Sin (2:39pm January 31, 2012):

This sounds like a winning series. I just love when there is suspense and love mixed together. I love when characters act like they hate each other and then they get together at the end.

Re: Touch Me (12:53pm January 30, 2012):

Any kind of hero in any setting is my favorite type of book. Hero's are always remembered and it doesn't get any better than that. Callie your book Touch Me sounds like a best seller. I wish you the best with it.

Re: Fever (1:49pm January 25, 2012):

Is there any genre you really shy away from? Or do you set a goal of writing about a certain topic and you just go for it?

Re: Falling For The Fireman (2:06pm January 24, 2012):

My husband was a Volunteer fireman for five years. It goes much more than just fighting fires. They save lives, they save animals, they also help out when someone is in a car accident when the car is on fire. The list goes on and on. They are such an important part of every day life. They should be honored every day for all that they do, for all of us. The best thing I do once a year is to donate to my local Fire Department. I am so grateful for all that they do in my Community, and in their every day life. Especially their selfless acts of heroism. Books about firemen are off the charts for me.

Re: Hot Rain (12:13pm January 4, 2012):

I guess it really depends on what your looking for. Maybe for some people online dating works and for others not. I don't know if I would look for the love of my life online, but I don't have to, because I'm happily married. And my husband is very romantic.

Re: A Demon Does It Better (5:29am January 3, 2012):

Books that ruffle my feathers intrigue me.

Re: A Promise Of Safekeeping (7:41am January 1, 2012):

I collect squirrel things. When I was young, a mother squirrel was killed and the baby was left all alone. We raised him and his name was Chippy. He lived to be 11 years old. He was friendly and would eat out of your hand and sit on your shoulder. At night he would sleep in his cage inside of a big jug that he would pull the blanket over his head so you couldn't see him. During the day we would let him out to feed him. I have statues,pillows,pens,stuffed animals,pins, etc.. I also feed the squirrels every day behind my house. I guess you would say I'm Squirrely!

Re: The More the Terrier (4:02pm December 31, 2011):

My new year plans will be to read as many books as possible, and to change the people I surround myself with. I want to be around ones that have a positive outlook on life in general and are not going to take more from me than I am willing to give. Happy New Year Everyone.

Re: Lover's Leap (1:07pm December 29, 2011):

Anything about healing your soul and body is worth reading to me. Thank You for the chance for such a good read. Happy New Year Everyone!

Re: Mozart's Last Aria (9:29pm December 27, 2011):

This sounds like such a good book to read. Thank You.

Re: The Nine Lives Of Christmas (2:29pm December 24, 2011):

I have a lot of reading to do. So many people know I love to read, so the books keep coming in. I know I will be getting more on Christmas. That is always so exciting to see what new reads others have given me. I want to wish Everyone a Very Merry Christmas.

Re: Finding Felicity (7:59am December 23, 2011):

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

Re: Wedded In Scandal (3:04pm December 22, 2011):

I have to admit that I just love Angry Birds. It is just so much fun to play at any age. Thank You and Merry Christmas Everyone!

Re: Come Back To Me (1:07pm December 21, 2011):

A really good read. Thank You. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Re: Sleight Of Paw (7:24pm December 18, 2011):

I am the picture taker and I usually take good pictures. I have a dog that I constantly take pictures of. For Halloween I dressed her in a squirrel costume that she hated. She would put her head down in all of the pictures. But on the last shot, I couldn't believe it she stuck her tongue out at me. I did capture the picture and it's the best one I took that day. I guess she told me how much she hated posing and the custome.

Re: The Virtuoso (7:10am November 2, 2011):

This is going to be some great reading. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Re: Red's Hot Cowboy (7:46am August 24, 2011):

I love that the Cowboys are the main topic but what about us Cowgirls that are just as tough as all of the men.

Re: The Orphan Sister (3:39am August 17, 2011):

This summer I have enjoyed making a rock garden and putting my beautiful white chairs by it, so when I need to get one on one with nature and away from all the stressors of the day, I sit outside in my chairs and let my mind and body relax and take in the summer breeze. This is great for the soul. And best of all it's free.

Re: The Vampire Next Door (10:28am August 15, 2011):

I would also not want to ever change my life with anybody. The whole part of living in this life is to be you and nobody else. That's what makes us all our own individual self.

Re: The Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter (9:10pm August 10, 2011):

I like happy endings. It doesn't really matter if the plot is great as long as something good happens at the end.

Re: Pleating for Mercy (12:38pm August 5, 2011):

My luxury hobby is reading. It really makes my day to read whatever I can get my hands on.

Re: Lie for Me (8:03pm August 3, 2011):

A lie is all about not being honest. Why would you lie to others and yourself for someone else. It's just not right.

Re: Too Hot To Touch (7:18pm August 3, 2011):

My first crush was in first grade. We were both in the advanced reading class, and I always tried to sit by him. Go foward 46 years and believe it or not he lives in the same town as I do and lives even on the same road. He runs past my house and always says hi to me. Really weird after all of these years.

Re: Notorious (7:08am July 29, 2011):

I love this story because it is so true how hard women had to work for years. I think this generation of women are still trying to prove themselves as hard workers. I would love to travel around and see all of the beautiful sights that we live in today.

Re: Touch If You Dare (11:22am July 21, 2011):

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. I know most people in life have at least one in their life, and they hold onto them forever.

Re: Night Walker (1:11pm July 18, 2011):

I think that living forever is really in the hands of a higher power. None of us really truly know where we are going to end up.

Re: Dragon Bound (2:34pm May 8, 2011):

Desire always brings out the passion of two people. Maybe that's why this works for them. What a great series. By the way "Happy Mother's Day" to all of you Wonderful Mom's out there!

Re: Love Drunk Cowboy (7:25pm May 4, 2011):

I would love a Cowboy, but not a drunk one.

Re: The Legend Of Michael (7:08am May 2, 2011):

Honesty, Passion, and tenderness would be a Real Hero for me! Knowing what a woman needs and giving it to her.

Re: Total Abandon (6:46pm April 30, 2011):

I love both e-books and print books. The one thing I miss is, if you buy a magazine you can smell the perfume samples but you miss this with e-magazines. I like to touch and smell the pages.

Re: Heart of Deception (9:51pm April 29, 2011):

I have always wore hats and have always been a fashion statement. Now when I don't wear one people wonder why I am not wearing one. I love the very bold and different ones that stand out the most from the norm. Being different sets me apart and I really enjoy the fun and glamour of it all.

Re: My Favorite Countess (7:13am April 28, 2011):

I believe Doctors save lives every day and I am so grateful that they take the time to educate themselves to help people in need. Doctors are heroes and sometimes I even feel they are sometimes Angelic.

Re: Heartache Falls (3:12pm April 27, 2011):

I rescued a two month old dog who was being abused and drugged by the owner. Her name is Schatzie and she is a pitbull-dalmation. She is now five years old and she suffers from Canine Epilepsy. Since the age of two years old, she has had about seven grand mal seizures. She takes phenabarbital twice a day to try and control having more seizures. She is one of the most friendliest dogs you would ever meet. Some of her talents are opening Christmas Presents and Carrying her lunch pail in her mouth with bones in it. She goes to all of the pet stores in town and everybody just loves her. Now I know why dog spelled backwards is God. He gave us our very best friends to love and love us back. How unique!

Re: The Alchemy of Desire (4:29pm April 25, 2011):

There's good and bad in just about everything so I like both Alpha and Beta Men! I am so glad that Authors change it up now and then. That's what keeps us readers coming back time and time again!

Re: The Devil in Disguise (9:24am April 23, 2011):

Happy Easter Everyone. Best of luck on your book. Hope to see many more by you.

Re: Hidden Embers (12:28pm April 22, 2011):

Spring in Upstate NY is something special. Because we know summer is on it's way. This winter was terrible. Seeing flowers starting to bloom is such a beautiful sight. The little things in life are so moving.

Re: Blood Sin (9:16pm April 21, 2011):

I am intrigued by vampires and would be delighted to read your book.

Re: It Happened On Maple Street (9:12pm April 19, 2011):

It takes alot of courage to share such a personal story about your life. Can't wait to read this book.

Re: Tangled Threads (8:22am April 18, 2011):

I also love TV. I watch American Idol, Survivor, The Apprentice, all the Food Network shows, etc.. But I also enjoy reading. I think that tv and reading is a better addiction than most others that may not be as healthy for you.

Re: The Beauty Chorus (6:32pm April 17, 2011):

I think taking the time to get something right takes alot of skill and patience. You have both and it really shows in your work. Keep up your spirit to put out the best of the best.

Re: Drip Dead (2:05pm April 14, 2011):

I think it's just wonderful that you take the time to educate kids about your books and being an author. Maybe someday, some of them will follow in your footsteps.

Re: Cowboy Fever (9:44pm April 13, 2011):

Great cast of Characters. Cowboys are real Men. Really good book cover. I'm just ready to read!

Re: Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend (12:12pm April 12, 2011):

Is Maggie a good witch or a bad witch? Just kidding, can't wait to read this book.

Re: Deadly Ties (11:56am April 10, 2011):

I am always there for my friends, but when I need help they are never available. So after awhile when they needed me, I would consider if I should be available to help them or not. In the end I usually give in. I guess it's my nature.

Re: Everyone Loves A Hero (5:17am February 2, 2011):

I have not been a hero yet. But on January 9, 2011 I lost my biggest Hero, my father to liver cancer. He was 84 years old and was a World War II and Korean War Veteran. He served our country so we all could be free. There are many other heroes who have served this country and are still serving this country. Take time to give them the honor, they so much deserve. We are Free because of their sacrifices. Thank You.

Re: Twins Under His Tree (1:42pm December 2, 2010):

My father who turns 84 on 1-8-2011 served in WWII and the Korean War. The war stories he tells are heart wrenching. I am so proud of him. Because of the brave men and women out there, we are staying safe because of all of their sacrifices in life. Bless them All.

Re: Strange Neighbors (11:11pm June 1, 2010):

No matter what group you belong to in life, we all need each other for support and reaching our goals in life together. Good Luck.

Re: Haunting Warrior (12:16pm May 12, 2010):

If I could travel through time ,I would go to Nashville and would love to meet Elvis!

Re: Chosen To Die (10:19pm August 11, 2009):

Your series books have been so much fun. Updating what characters have done in their lives is just amazing.

Re: The Cowboy From Christmas Past (10:09pm August 9, 2009):

All I can say is to be grateful for what you have in life, and continue to live your life to the fullest, because you never know what may be taken away from you. My motto is to live, love, and laugh.

Re: It Happened One Night (10:27pm July 31, 2009):

What captures the essence of a good book to me, comes from an idea. The mind focuses on things and the idea is put into words. How unique.

Re: Face Time (11:55pm July 28, 2009):

I've always had a hard relationship with my mother. She has always tried to compete with me. I thought after all of these years, that things would change. They just haven't. All I can do now is try to remain on a decent level with her.

Re: Divorced, Desperate and Deceived (2:43pm July 21, 2009):

I just love laughter. So this is right up my alley.

Re: Bending The Rules (10:43pm July 20, 2009):

I carry my heart on my sleeve all the time. I have a kind loving heart. I can cry from laughing to hard to crying after going to a nursery and seeing all the new lives brought into this world. I feel showing your emotional side is a positive thing.

Re: Bluegrass Blessings (3:11pm July 16, 2009):

I would rather laugh. It frees the soul of unrest and sends great feelings of euphoria throughout your body. Laughing makes your heart and soul dance to music, to which noone else can see or hear. Laughing is just plain phenomenal.

Re: Earth Guys Are Easy (1:43am July 15, 2009):

Hi Karen. I live in Upstate New York, and my best hippie days were at Woodstock,NY. It doesn't get any better than the memories I have of living out my best hippie days there.

Re: Every Breath You Take... (1:34pm January 12, 2009):

One day to win. OK don't Grinch me, let me win. Then I can be the one that got away with your book. Thank You.

Re: The Vorkosigan Companion (6:55am January 1, 2009):

Happy New Year. Reading is Fundamental. I live in Upstate New York and believe me, I need a Bundle Of Books to get me through this freezing weather. Bundle me with delight. Start the New Year out right, educate me. Thanks
